Bio-anthropology, bio-psychology, social, policy, and environmental aspects of primatology are covered by InaJP. <a href="https://issn.brin.go.id/terbit/detail/20220922090968903" target="_blank" rel="noopener">E-ISSN 2964-5441</a></p> <p>InaJP is published by Primate Research Center, IPB University, Indonesia. We accept submissions from all over the world. Our Editorial Board members are prominent and active international researchers in primatology fields who ensure an efficient, fair, and constructive peer-review process. All accepted articles will be published on payment of an article-processing charge and will be freely available to all readers with worldwide visibility and coverage.</p> <p><strong>For a limited time, no payment will be charged for articles submitted until 2024.</strong></p> https://journal.ipb.ac.id/index.php/primatology/article/view/53804 2024-07-27T11:19:41+07:00 Anggitha Tambunan anggitha12tambunan@apps.ipb.ac.id Dr. Puji Rianti pujirianti@apps.ipb.ac.id Jepri Agung Priyanto jepriyanto@apps.ipb.ac.id Huda Shalahudin Darusman hudada@apps.ipb.ac.id Randall Charles Kyes rkyes@uw.edu

<p>Long-tailed macaque (<em>Macaca fascicularis; LTM</em>) is a common non-human primate used as an animal model in the medical field for its genetic similarity with humans. Maintaining the gut microbiota balance of LTM is crucial to avoid the possibility of disease in LTM caused by dysbiosis. Therefore, this study aims to isolate bacteria from the semi-wild LTM from Tinjil Island to know the diversity of their gut microbiota. We serially diluted four semi-wild LTM fecal samples and spread them onto the nutrient agar medium for bacteria enumeration through Total Plate Count (TPC). Then, we follow Bergey's Manual Determinative of Bacteriology. The bacteria isolates would be identified morphologically and biochemically. The average of total viable bacteria obtained was 1.86 x 10⁹ CFU/g. Aerobic isolation of bacteria from all the samples resulted in 19 isolates of gram-positive bacteria, of which six putative species of <em>Staphylococcus</em> sp., three <em>Bacillus</em> sp., four <em>Micrococcus</em> sp., and four <em>Corynebacterium</em> sp. In general, isolating cultivable fecal microbiota from fecal samples of semi-wild LTM from Tinjil Island has provided an overview of its gut microbiota composition based on limited analytical methods using cultured-dependent methods.</p>
