ABSTRACT
Coffee is one of the major commodities in
Indonesia's agricultural sector, where Indonesia is the fourth largest coffee
producer in the world. Arabica coffee is the only type of coffee produced on
Mount Sindoro. The used water is wasted in the sewers
when washing and sorting coffee. Even though the skin covering the cherry flesh
is likely to contain natural microorganism life since the coffee cherries grow
during ripening on the tree. Therefore, this study aims to determine whether
there is the presence or absence of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) groups in the
water used to soak the Arabica coffee cherries. The research method was carried
out with 200 ml of water samples soaked in Arabica coffee cherries for 4 hours,
isolating microorganisms from the 10-1 to 10-3 dilution series of soaking water
using the spread plate method and reinoculation to obtain pure LAB cultures,
then detected macroscopically through observation of colony morphology and
microscopically detected, including physiological and biochemical reaction
tests. Data analysis was conducted in a fully descriptive-qualitative manner
concerning Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology and other books
supporting the detection of the BAL groups obtained. The study results obtained
three isolates, but only one isolate was detected as LAB. The isolate belongs
to the Streptococcaceae family's LAB group- the Lactococcus genus.

INTRODUCTION
Coffee is one of the major commodities in Indonesia's
agricultural sector, where Indonesia is the fourth largest coffee producer in
the world (with an average production range of 630-640 thousand tons/year).
Meanwhile, in 2020, Indonesia produced 762,380 tons of coffee from a total land
area of 1,250,452 Ha (Firmansyah et al.,
2023). Especially in Central Java, total coffee production
in 2020 was 26,179 tons, dominated by Community Plantations with 25,999 tons
from 46,602 Ha of land area, the rest by Large State Plantations with 145 tons
from 961 Ha of land area and by Plantations Large Private Sector is 35 tons
from 194 Ha of land area. This data includes two types of coffee, which are
large commodities, namely Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica Linn) and Robusta
coffee (Coffea canephora Pierre).
One area is even a stratovolcano (semi-active/type B
stratovolcano) located in Central Java, namely Mount Sindoro, which is in
Pagergunung Village, Tlamp District, Temanggung Regency (northwest). Mount
Sindoro has a height of 3,340 meters above sea level (Temanggung Regency
Government, 2015). Therefore, Mount Sindoro is highly utilized in the
agricultural and plantation sectors, including Arabica coffee. Arabica coffee
is the only type of coffee produced on Mount Sindoro. Arabica coffee has a
slightly oval green bean morphology, contains 0.8-1.4% caffeine, 6-9% sugar,
and 15-17% essential oil, and can grow optimally at 1000-2000 meters above sea
level. Apart from coffee, Mount Sindoro is also planted with tobacco and
vegetables (Temanggun, 2014). Based on data from the Temanggung Regency Central
Statistics Agency, Kledung District produced 282.00 tonnes of Arabica coffee in
2018, which decreased in 2019 to a production figure of 188.16 tonnes (BPS, 2020). Kledung Sub-District is the closest sub-district to
the slopes of Mount Sindoro. Most of its people work as farmers, making many
places for coffee production, including Java Sindoro Processing owned by Mr.
Arifin. Java Sindoro Processing alone
can usually process an average of 50 tons/year of Arabica coffee production.
The processing of coffee on
Mount Sindoro is generally done with the honey process, which is included in
the wet processing process. The honey process begins with peeling the skin and
flesh of the coffee cherries (commonly called cherries), leaving the coffee
beans with their horn skin and mucilage (mucilage). This aims to ensure that
during the drying/drying process, it can stimulate the start of the natural
fermentation process in the coffee beans, which can produce organic acids to be
absorbed by the coffee beans, thereby creating a typical fruity taste of fruit
that is close to the taste produced by the natural process. or dry processing (Dalimunthe
et al., 2021). The reactions that occur
during the natural fermentation process include three important reactions as
follows:
1.
Breaking down the muscles so that the coffee bean horn skin can be easily
removed from the coffee bean after drying.
2.
The glycolysis reaction occurs.
3.
There is a change in the color of the horn skin and epidermis for the
better (Puspaningrum et al., 2018).
The mucilage contains 4.1% sugar, 84.2% water, 8.9%
protein, 0.9% pectic acid, and 0.7% ash (Dalimun et al., 2021). Because of this, it supports the growth of
microorganisms, especially lactic acid bacteria, and even putrefactive bacteria
can also grow easily. Therefore, it requires good and correct handling and
storage.
It should be noted that before stripping the skin and
flesh of the cherries, the cherries are soaked as well as sorted using water,
which water acts as an auxiliary medium in determining the quality of the
cherries, namely cherries floating on the surface of the water are low-quality
cherries/coffee cherries. While those sinking to the bottom of the water are
high-quality coffee cherries/cherries. This is based on the weight and density of the
cherries/coffee cherries themselves. After that, the water is wasted into the sewer. Even the skin covering the
cherry flesh is most likely to contain the life of microorganisms that grow
naturally since coffee cherries grow during ripening on the tree. When soaking
is done, microorganisms can likely transfer from the cherry skin to the water
so that the used soaking water contains natural microorganisms from the
cherries, which can be used as isolates. Therefore, this can be innovated to
create a liquid inoculum in the form of a lactic acid bacteria starter or with
other microorganisms commonly used in food biotechnology as an auxiliary
fermenter which is expected to also improve the taste produced by coffee beans
in the future so that it can also improve quality and price at coffee products
produced.
The Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) group is known as the
best microorganism in the fermentation process in food because many and almost
all fermented foods use this group. Apart from that, because LAB has met GRAS
(Generally Recognized As Safe) status, it is safe for human consumption and
digestion, so that it can be applied as a probiotic agent (Putri &
Kusdiyantini, 2018). This is because LAB is naturally found in many
foodstuffs as well as in the gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts of humans
and animals (Sujaya et al., 2016). The BAL group has a morphology in the form of cocci
(round) or rod (bacillus) cells, arranged in pairs or chains, and are
Gram-positive bacteria and do not have spores. Other properties include being
non-motile, facultatively anaerobic, catalase-negative, and being able to
produce lactic acid by fermenting carbohydrates. Therefore, LAB is always used
in the fermentation process because it can produce acid, which can inhibit the
growth of pathogenic microorganisms and food spoilage bacteria (Putri &
Kusdiyantini, 2018), which is also supported by the production of hydrogen
peroxide, diacetyl, or phenylacetic acid, and bacteriocin (Dewi, 2014).
The purpose of the study "Detection of Lactic
Acid Bacteria (LAB) in Water Used for Soaking Arabica Coffee Cherries at Mount
Sindoro" is to determine whether there is the presence of Lactic Acid
Bacteria (LAB) and the Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) group in the water used for
soaking cherries. Arabica coffee on Mount Sindoro.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Isolation of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) and Macroscopic Detection
Isolation of microorganisms is a technique that aims to
move mixed colonies of microorganisms from their environment, as well as to
separate colonies of microorganisms from one another from their environment to
artificial growth media so that colonies of similar microorganisms are
obtained, which are called pure cultures. In a narrow sense, isolation is a
technique for growing microorganisms outside their natural environment (Romadhon Badaring et al.,
2020). The isolation carried out in this research was in the
form of bacteria, especially Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) from the skin of
Arabica coffee cherries (Coffea arabica) which were cultivated at an altitude
of approximately 2000 meters above sea level on Mount Sindoro by soaking in
sterile distilled water for 4 hours and then carried out in graded dilutions.
With dilution series 10-1, 10-2, and 10-3. Dilution is carried out to reduce
the number of bacteria suspended in the sample liquid (Hafsan, Sukmawaty E,
2016). Then, the isolation of bacteria was carried out on
selective media using the spread plate method. The spread plate method, also
called the spread plate method, is a method of growing bacteria by spreading a
bacterial suspension onto the surface of a solid medium (agar) (Hafsan, Sukmawaty E,
2016). The media used is a selective medium intended to grow
Lactic Acid Bacteria, called media de Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe Agar (MRSA) and
de Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe Broth (MRSB) media. The two media only slightly
differ in intended use, whereas de Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe Agar (MRSA) are used
to isolate and grow LAB due to solid media. At the same time, de Man, Rogosa,
and Sharpe Broth (MRSB) is a liquid medium that is used to make it easier for
LAB to produce and release bacteriocins in the liquid media. It can also be
used as a medium for storing cultures (stock culture) (Ningsih et al . al., 2018). The results of isolation using the spread plate method
obtained 3 isolates, but only 1 isolate was detected as LAB. Then, inoculation
was also carried out on the only LAB isolate. Inoculation is a technique of
transferring one isolate (culture) from another isolate, which is carried out
from old media to new media to obtain a pure culture and separate the isolate
from other unwanted microorganism contamination ( Romadhon Badaring et al.,
2020). Inoculation was carried out from old de Man, Rogosa,
and Sharpe Agar (MRSA) media to new de Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe Agar (MRSA)
media using the T-streak method. The T-streak method also called the T-streak
method, is a zig-zag scratch method in each quadrant, with three quadrants in
one agar media container. The scratch method aims to isolate one colony of
microorganisms from other mixed colonies or inoculate or rejuvenate isolates
from old media into new media (Hafsan, Sukmawaty E,
2016). The isolates obtained in the isolation and inoculation of
LAB from water used to soak Arabica coffee cherries on Mount Sindoro are as
follows.

Microscopic Detection and Physiological Testing
Microscopic detection is carried out with the help of a microscope
because the object of observation is so small that it cannot be seen with the
sense of sight without aids. Microscopic detection of bacteria can help determine
the shape of the bacterial cell itself. In addition, it is generally carried
out in conjunction with physiological tests on bacterial cells, such as the
Gram stain test and spore staining. However, other physiological tests, such as
the motility test, can be performed macroscopically.
Gram staining is one of the staining techniques for microorganisms to be
studied. Gram staining is a differential staining technique, namely a staining
technique that generally uses more than one type of substance solution or dye
reagent, which functions to show the differences between microorganism cells.
The Gram staining technique causes the division of bacteria into two groups,
namely the Gram-positive bacteria group and the Gram-negative bacteria group.
The Gram-positive bacteria group is a group of bacteria that can retain crystal
violet reagent when exposed to alcohol, even at a concentration of 95%; the
Gram-positive bacteria group shows a blue-purple color. Meanwhile, the
Gram-negative bacteria group cannot retain the crystal violet reagent. Hence,
the blue-purple color fades when exposed to alcohol, so the Gram-negative
bacteria show a red-pink color because they are given the safranin reagent.
This can happen because there are differences in the composition and structure
of the cell wall between the two groups of bacteria. Where the cell wall
structure of the Gram-negative bacteria group is thinner, and the peptidoglycan
content is low, even though the composition of lipids or fats or the like is higher.
Because the cell wall structure of the Gram-negative group is thinner, the
lipid composition is easily extracted, thereby increasing the fading of the
crystal violet reagent during Gram-C treatment.
In contrast to the
Gram-positive bacteria group, the lipid composition is lower. However, the cell
walls become hydrated with a lot of peptidoglycan content. When Gram C is
treated with a reaction, the pore size decreases, causing the crystal violet
reagent to be retained (Wardani
et al., 2022). The following is a picture of
the results of Gram staining on the isolates obtained.

Gram-positive bacteria.

Spore staining is also a
differential staining technique. Spore staining aims to differentiate between
endospores and vegetative cells. Endospores, without coloring reagents, can
still be seen under a microscope with a round, transparent shape and are very
refractile. However, with the spore staining technique using the commonly used
method - the Schaeffer-Fulton method, it will be easier to differentiate
between endospores and vegetative cells where the main coloring reagent for
staining spores is 5% malachite green, which can enter the spores by heating.
When the malachite green reagent colors bacterial cells (vegetative cells), the
bacteria with endospores will bind to the reagent so that it does not fade when
rinsed with distilled water. At the same time, the reagent will wash off from
the vegetative cells. Thus, bacterial cells that have endospores will be green
or bluish-green (Hafsan,
Sukmawaty E, 2016). Isolates that are LAB will
not show the presence of spores in the cells (Bell et al., 2005). Therefore,
BAL isolates will show a red-pink color when observed. This is due to the main
reagent fading from the vegetative cells, then being treated with the safranin
reagent, the safranin will color the vegetative cells. Of course, safranin cannot
affect the color that has been bound by endospores (Hafsan,
Sukmawaty E, 2016). The following is a picture of
the isolate obtained from the spore staining results.

The motility test aims to
determine the motile or non-motile nature of the movement of bacteria. The
movement of bacteria is influenced by the presence or absence of flagella in
bacteria. Motile bacteria certainly have flagella to help with movement
(motility) (Usman
et al., 2015). Motile bacteria are
characterized by the spread of bacterial growth throughout the media so that
the media will appear more turbid due to the spread of bacterial motility. In
contrast, non-motile bacteria are characterized by bacterial growth that does
not spread, only growing in the puncture zone at the time of inoculation and
presence. Bacteria in the zone will appear more clearly (Yuwita,
2021). The following is a picture of
the isolates obtained from the motility tests.

Biochemical Reaction Testing
The
biochemical reaction test was carried out to know the biochemical reaction of
the research object, in this case, bacteria. Biochemical reaction tests can be
carried out with simple and complex reagents to determine the ability of
bacteria to produce catalase enzymes, ferment sugar, and use substrates for
growth.
The catalase
test is a test performed to determine the presence or absence of the catalase enzyme
in the tested bacteria. The catalase test was carried out by cultivating
bacterial isolates on Trytic Soy Agar (TSA) media with the aim of enrichment of
the isolates so that the isolates were able to be in optimal conditions when
tested, especially BAL, which has fastidious properties. Therefore, isolate
cultivation and direct testing on Trytic Soy Agar (TSA) media because this
media
is generally used to cultivate and isolate
bacteria with fastidious or nonfastidious properties (Robinson,
2014). This test uses a 3% hydrogen peroxide
(H2O2) solution, which is dropped directly onto the test isolate. The test
results were declared positive (having the catalase enzyme) as indicated by
bubbles forming shortly after H2O2 was dropped. These bubbles are oxygen (O2) (Putra, 2010). The formation of O2 bubbles cannot be
separated from the mechanism of breaking down the hydrogen peroxide compound
into water and oxygen (Aisyah et
al., 2014), or the breakdown scheme is as follows.

However, the results of this
study did not produce O2 bubbles, which means that the tested bacterial
isolates did not produce the catalase enzyme. The book Bergey's Manual of
Systemic Bacteriology (p. 464) states that, generally, the LAB group does not
produce the catalase enzyme. However, several strains in several species of the
LAB group can break down hydrogen peroxide by pseudo catalyse or catalase when
it contains heme compound complexes.

The citrate test was carried out using Simmon's Citrate Agar (SCA) on
slanted media and aimed to determine the ability to use citrate as the only
source of carbon and energy by bacteria (Kurniawan
et al., 2023). This can happen because the
SCA media contains bromthymol blue reagent, which functions as an indicator of
changes in pH values resulting from biochemical reactions by bacteria. The
bromthymol blue reagent at pH 6.9 is green, but if the pH increases to 7.6
(alkaline), the color will change to blue. This color change occurs due to
using acid from the media to make it alkaline. However, the isolates obtained
in this study showed no color change to blue, as shown in the image below.

The Triple Sugar Iron (TSI) test was carried out using slanted Triple
Sugar Iron Agar (TSIA) media containing three types of sugar (glucose, lactose,
and sucrose), ferric citrate, and phenol red. Apart from that, inoculation of
isolates in this test was carried out using zig-zag strokes, which aimed to
determine whether the bacteria could ferment the three types of sugar, and also
carried out with vertical punctures to the bottom of the media, which aimed to
determine whether the bacteria could form hydrogen sulfide ( H2S) from the
hydraulic reaction of the sulfur-containing amino acid cysteine and producing
H2 and CO2 gas from the fermentation reaction. Because it contains phenol red
reagent, this media is red and will change color to yellow because the bacteria
produce acid from their ability to ferment one, two, or three types of sugar
(depending on the part of the media that changes color). In contrast, the media
will remain red if no acid is formed. Also, if the fermentation produces
by-products, the butt of the media will crack or even break from the bacteria
inoculated by puncture. Then, because it contains ferric acid, it will show the
formation of a black precipitate if the bacteria can desulfurase the amino acid
cysteine to hydrogen sulfide (H2S).
Meanwhile, the isolate obtained shows that all parts of the media (slant
and butt) change color to yellow. Apart from that, it shows that there is no
formation of black precipitate and no cracks in the butt of the media, which
means that the bacterial isolate does not produce H2S, H2 gas, and CO2.
Briefly, it can be summarized as shown in Table 2 below.

The Methyl Red-Voges Proskauer (MR-VP) test was carried out using the
same composition because it is based on the ability of bacteria to react with
dextrose (glucose) after being given the reagent for each test between the MR
and VP tests. The Methyl Red (MR) test aims to determine the ability of
bacterial fermentation of glucose to produce mixed acids through the
heterofermentative pathway. In contrast, the Voges Proskauer (VP) test aims to
determine whether or not the ability of bacteria to ferment carbohydrates into
2,3 butanediol (Suarjana
et al., 2017) in the MR test using methyl red
reagent, which is a positive indicator if the color of the media turns red (can
produce mixed acids from the reaction of carbohydrate fermentation) and a
negative indicator if the media turns yellow. Meanwhile, the VP test uses 40%
KOH reagent and ɑ-naphthol, which can determine whether there is
production of acetyl-methyl carbonyl (acetoin) - the leading compound in the
2,3 butanediol synthesis reaction. The 40% KOH reagent can convert acetoin into
diacetyl so that a red color is formed, and ɑ-naphthol functions to
clarify the red color formed so that the VP test is declared positive. The VP
test is negative if the media changes color to cloudy yellow. In this study, the isolate showed a color change to
yellow in the Methyl Red (MR) test and a color change to cloudy yellow in the
Voges Proskauer (VP) test, so it can be summarized as shown in Table 3 below.

The mannitol test used Mannitol
Salt Agar (MSA) media containing mannitol sugar. Mannitol is a hydrogenated
sugar from β-fructose. With the help of the phenol red reagent which makes
the media red, the bacteria that have the ability to ferment sugar in the MSA
media will change color to yellow due to acid production which occurs and even
increases (Hayati et al., 2019 ). Meanwhile, the results of the
mannitol test on the isolates obtained in this study were negative, which is
indicated by the media remaining red, as shown in Figure 8 below.

Detection
of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) Groups
Observations made from morphological appearance, physiological testing,
and biochemical reactions can help in detecting groups of test microorganisms
down to the genus level. This research only focused on the Lactic Acid Bacteria
(LAB) group. This research has also proven that there is 1 isolate which is
confirmed to be LAB which can be isolated directly from its natural
environment, namely the outer skin of Arabica coffee cherries (C.arabica),
through soaking for 4 hours.
The isolates obtained were Gram-positive with a cocci (round/spherical)
shape. Some were slightly elongated to look like an ovoid shape composed of
single cells, double cells (pairs), and even cells with long and short chains.
In addition, this isolate is a vegetative cell that does not produce spores and
is a non-flagellate bacterium, so it is non-motile. Then, according to the
biochemical reaction, the isolate cannot react with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
because it does not have the catalase enzyme, does not use citrate as a source
of carbon and energy, and is unable to form hydrogen sulfide (H2S),
as well as hydrogen gas (H2) and carbon dioxide (CO2)
from the results of fermenting sugars (glucose, lactose, and sucrose) thus
indicating that the isolate has a homolactic fermentation metabolism
(homofermentative); because it has a homofermentative metabolism, it cannot
ferment glucose into mixed acids and does not produce acetyl-methyl carbonyl
(acetoin) so it cannot ferment glucose into 2,3 butanediol, and cannot ferment
mannitol.
Based on the determination contained in the book Bergey's Manual of
Determinative Bacteriology, Seventh Edition and supported by the book Bergey's
Manual of Systemic Bacteriology, Second Edition, Volume Three: The Firmicutes
and the book The Prokaryotes: A Handbook on Habitats, Isolation, and
Identification of Bacteria, Volume II, the isolate has the same morphology,
physiology, and biochemistry as Lactococcus sp. which grows on the surface of
the agar to form small colonies with a diameter of less than 1 mm, white in
color which forms a smooth circle (round); which has spherical cells or
elongated oval cells like ovoids with a series of short chains or pairs, some
cultures form long chains; including Gram positive; does not form endospores;
non-motile; facultative anaerobes; catalase negative; mesophilic (grows at
temperatures between 10-40�C); acid production from glucose, maltose, and
lactose; can sometimes ferment xylose, arabinose, sucrose, trehalose, mannitol,
and salicin; Carbohydrate fermentation is homofermentative; The main end
product of glucose fermentation is L(+)-lactic acid; optimal growth at pH
values close to neutral; including the lactic acid bacteria group of the
Streptococcaceae family; natural habitat for plants.
Thus, based on data from ITIS (Integrated et al.), Schleifer classified
Lactococcus sp. as follows.

CONCLUSION
The research "Detection of Lactic
Acid Bacteria (LAB) in Water Used to Soak Arabica Coffee Cherries on Mount
Sindoro" was able to prove that there are natural Lactic Acid Bacteria
(LAB) on the skin of Arabica coffee cherries cultivated at an altitude of approximately
2000 meters above sea level on Mount Sindoro, Temanggung, which was isolated
from water used to soak Arabica coffee for 4 hours. LAB is included in the
group of lactic acid bacteria from the family Streptococcaceae, genus
Lactococcus, which is shown in the results of macroscopic detection through
observing colony morphology (shape, color, and size of colonies), microscopic
detection through physiological tests (Gram staining, spore staining, and
motility test), and biochemical reaction tests (catalase test, citrate test,
Triple Sugar Iron (TSI) test, Methyl Red-Voges Proskauer (MR-VP) test, and
mannitol test).
