PEMANFAATAN SARI UBI JALAR KUNING SEBAGAI PENGGANTI MEDIA Nutrient Agar (NA)PADA PERTUMBUHAN BAKTERI Staphylococcus aureus

Objective: To see whether yellow sweet potato extract media can effectively support the growth of staphylococcus aureus bacteria as a substitute for nutrient agar (NA) Method: This method or type of research uses an experimental method by observing the growth of staphylococcus aureus bacteria on alternative media. According to Sugiyono (2018) quoted from Anggraini et al (2020), experimental is an experimental research method used to identify the impact or influence of certain
treatments on other variables that can be controlled. Results: The highest bacterial growth in alternate media was 180 staphylococcus aureus bacteria in the 5th experiment and in NA media there was bacterial growth of 299 in the 5th experiment, while the lowest bacterial growth in alternative media was 100 in the 1st experiment and in NA media was 120 in the 4th experiment. The results of the independent sample T test obtained a Sig. (2-tailed) value (0.003) 0.05, so it can be concluded that Ho is rejected and H1 is accepted.
