Isolation of Thermophilic Bacteria From Mount Tangkuban Perahu and the Novelty as a Candidate for Anti-Biofilm.

Thermophilic bacteria living in extreme areas with high temperatures are capable of producing secondary metabolites, such as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). AMPs are stable at high temperatures and show good antibacterial activity. Therefore, this study aimed to identify thermophilic bacteria from the crater of Mount Tangkuban Perahu around West Java and assess antibacterial effectiveness of AMPs against , which contribute to oral biofilm formation.
