Serratia mercescens merupakan bakte

Serratia mercescens merupakan bakteri gram negatif yang berbentuk bacillus, bersifat motil, dan menurut sifat kebutuhan oksigennya yaitu fakultatif anaerob. Serratia mercescens memiliki enzim kitinase yang dapat menghidrolisis polimer kitin menjadi kitin oligosakarida atau monomer N-asetilglukosamin (Brurberg, 2000). Selain itu, Serratia mercescens juga memproduksi pigmen merah yang disebut prodigiosin. Pigmen prodigiosin dilaporkan memiliki aktivitas antifungi, antimikroba, algicidal, antiprotozoal, antimalaria, antikanker, dan imunosupressif (Samrot et al, 2011). Serratia mercescens mempunyai sifat resisten terhadap antibiotik karena memiliki r-faktor di plasmid (gen yang mengkode untuk resistensi antibiotik).

Serratia mercescens bacterium is gram negative bacillus shape, is motile, and according to the nature of their oxygen needs i.e. facultative anaerobe. Serratia mercescens has kitinase enzymes can hydrolyze chitin polymer chitin becomes oligosakarida or monomers N-acetylglucosamine (Brurberg, 2000). In addition, Serratia mercescens also produces a red pigment called prodigiosin. The pigment prodigiosin reported having antifungi activity, antimicrobial, algicidal, antiprotozoal, anticancer, antimalarial, and imunosupressif (Samrot et al, 2011). Serratia mercescens has properties of resistant to antibiotics because it has an r-factor plasmids (which encodes genes for antibiotic resistance).

Serratia mercescens is a gram-negative bacterium bacillus shaped, motile, and according to the nature of their oxygen requirements are facultative anaerobes. Serratia mercescens have chitinase enzyme that can hydrolyze chitin polymer into chitin oligosaccharides or monomer N-acetylglucosamine (Brurberg, 2000). Additionally, Serratia mercescens also produces a red pigment called prodigiosin. Pigments prodigiosin reported to have antifungal activity, antimicrobial, algicidal, antiprotozoal, antimalarial, anti-cancer, and imunosupressif (Samrot et al, 2011). Serratia mercescens have properties resistant to antibiotics because it has the R-factor in the plasmid (gene which codes for antibiotic resistance).
