- Abstract
Probiotics have widely been used as an alternative feed supplement in poultry, contributing to enhanced productivity and the maintenance of livestock health. This study aimed to compare several extracellular cellulase-producing Bacillus spp. Isolated from the digestive tract of muscovy ducks (Cairina moschata) and native chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus). A total of seven isolates were selected based on extracellular cellulase activity detected on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-agar plates. Morphological, biochemical and molecular analyses were sequentially conducted to identify bacterial species. Three isolates exhibiting the best extracellular cellulase activity obtained from Muscovy Ducks (Cairina moschata) and native chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) were selected and identified through 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The results showed that the A1 isolate was identified as Bacillus cereus strain SA275C, the A4 isolate as Bacillus cereus strain S8, and the A6 isolate as Bacillus subtilis strain IAM 12118. The three selected isolates showed different characteristics, including viability to digestive tract pH and antibacterial activity resulting in inhibition zones in isolates A1 and A4 of ± 0.5 mm, while isolate A6 was 1 mm against Staphylococcus aureus. In conclusion, the three selected isolates with the highest extracellular cellulase activity have potential as probiotic candidates for poultry.
