摘要
Pseudomonas stutzeri caused an outbreak of freshwater fish in Luwuk Banggai (tilapia and catfish), Bali (tilapia), Jambi (tilapia and catfish) and Tanjung Pinang (catfish). The study was purposed to comprehensively identify special phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of P. stutzeri isolated from several areas in Indonesia, including its morphometric and biochemical characteristics and molecular variation. Bacteria were isolated from internal organs (kidney, ulcer and eye) of fish. They were then identified using morphology and biochemical test. DNA isolates were entirely extracted, amplified and reversed on 16S rRNA region, and further then were sequenced. Phylogenetic trees of bacteria were constructed using neighbor-joining and maximum-parsimony methods. The colony were similar, such as rod shape (Jambi, Tanjung Pinang, Bali), bacil shape (Luwuk Banggai), transparant in tryptic soy agar (TSA) (Luwuk Banggai), creamy beige in glutamate starch phenol red (GSP) (Bali), gram negative, motile, no reaction in the oxidative-fermentative test, positive result in catalase and oxidase test, negative in lysine decarboxylase and ornithine decarboxylase test and positive result in indole test; gelatin was degraded (only Bali), urea was not degraded, no color change in Methyl-red and Voges-proskaeur (MR-VP) test; acid not produce from glucose, inositol or sucrose. Citrate was utilized by some isolates: positive (Jambi, Tanjung Pinang) and negative (Bali, Luwuk Banggai). Results showed us that isolates of Jambi, Bali and Tanjung Pinang were monophyletic species with P. stutzeri $8 and ZH-1 comparing to gen bank. However, merely phenotypic analysis among Pseudomonas sp. was confused compared to each other.
