Isolation and Antibacterial Activity assay of Endophytic Symbiont Bacteria on Seaweed Gracilaria verrucosa originated from Batu Meja Tongkaina Beach, North Sulawesi
Get PDFSeaweed can produce bioactive compounds such as antibacterial. Seaweed co-exists with bacteria endophytes. Entophytic bacteria are bacteria that live in host tissues and have the ability to protect the host itself by producing antibacterial compounds against pathogens. Therefore, the endophytic bacteria of seaweed symbionts can be utilized to produce antibacterial compounds. Bacteria can be mass-cultured because of their fast-growing characteristic. The aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity from endophytic symbiont bacteria on seaweed Gracilaria verrucosa originated from Batu Meja Tongkaina Beach, North Sulawesi. Isolation of bacteria was carried out by dilution steps from 101 to 10־3 times, then cultivation on Nutrient Agar media to obtain a single colony of the bacteria. Antibacterial activity was tested used paper disc diffusion method. The pathogens used were bacterial strains of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, and Salmonella typhi. Moreover, antibiotics were used as positive controls. The antibacterial ability of the symbiotic bacteria was measured based on inhibition zones around the paper disc containing the isolates of endophytic bacteria. A total of 6 endophytic bacterial isolates were found, namely isolate B, C, D, E, F and G, characterized by different morphological features. The results showed that isolates B and C having inhibition zone of 0.5 – 1.0 mm against S. typhi, indicating that these two isolates produce antibacterial compounds with a weak ability  against S. typhi

Utilization Of Geographic Information System (Gis) For Selection Of Idle Pond For Vannamei Shrimp Cultivation
Get PDFLand suitability is one aspect that determines the success of vannamei shrimp cultivation in coastal pond areas. Cultivation of vannamei shrimp in ponds has a spatial component as well as differences in the biophysical and socio-economic characteristics of each location. Many ponds that are intensively managed have not taken advantage of the advantages of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in selecting locations and managing vannamei shrimp culture, which is important to do to avoid business failure. This study used a survey method to collect data on water quality parameters (acidity / pH, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen / DO, nitrate, and phosphate). Analysis of land suitability for vannamei shrimp cultivation in ponds using the scoring method, each water quality parameter is weighted and a score is then divided into 4 land suitability classes, namely classes S1 (Very Suitable), S2 (Sufficiently Suitable), S3 (Conditional Appropriate), and N (Unsuitable). The results showed that the vannamei shrimp pond land suitability map produced a thematic map of the suitability of the vannamei shrimp pond land which had a total area of 13.65 ha of vannamei shrimp and had 4 levels of suitability, namely very suitable class (S1) with an area of 3.96 ha, a class that appropriate (S2) has an area of 7.8 ha, a moderately suitable class (S3) has an area of 0.85 ha, and an unsuitable class (N) has an area of 1.04 ha.Keywords: Litopenaeus vannamei; Water quality; Land Suitability; Geographical Information SystemsAbstrakKesesuaian lahan merupakan salah satu aspek yang menentukan keberhasilan kegiatan budidaya udang vannamei di wilayah tambak pesisir.

Early Warning of Heavy Metal Pollution in the Waters of Obi Island Based on Plankton Elements
Get PDFIndustrial activities that are around the waters will donate dangerous heavy metals and enter the waters through rivers. Heavy metal pollution is very dangerous for animals, plants, and humans. Exposure to heavy metals in humans occurs through the food chain. Pollution observation methods using living organisms such as plankton as bioindicators are more effective. As an indicator of biological, composition, and abundance of plankton can provide a guide for monitoring the occurrence of pollution by using the saprobic index. This research aims to determine the level of pollution in the waters of Obi Island. The results of identification of plankton samples found 17 genera phytoplankton in 2 different classes, Diatom and Dinoflagellate, and 3 genera of zooplankton class. The average abundance of phytoplankton from the results of the study was 5.253 individual/L which means that the water conditions were mesotrophic. Meanwhile, the average abundance of zooplankton is 57 individuals/m3. The saprobic index and trophic saprobic index analysis tend to show that the waters are in the mild to moderate polluted category, where the waters are at the β-Mesosaprobic level.Keywords: Phytoplankton; Zooplankton; SI index; Obi island AbstrakKegiatan industri pertambangan di Kawasi merupakan pertambangan untuk memperoleh biji nikel (Ni). Biji Ni umumnya berasosiasi dengan log am berat lainnya seperti tembaga (Cu), arsenik (As), besi (Fe), dan platina (Pt) sehingga berpeluang besar masuk ke perairan di sekitar kawasan pertambangan melaluli aliran sungai. Interaksi yang terjadi dalam ekosistem perairan sungai dan beban masukan yang tidak terkendali dapat mempengaruhi ketersediaan unsur hara dan fitoplankton. Fitoplankton merupakan parameter biologi yang dapat di jadikan indikator untuk mengevaluasi kualitas dan tingkat kesuburan perairan. Sebagai indikator biologi komposisi dan kelimpahan fitoplankton dapat memberikan petunjuk untuk memantau terjadinya pencemaran dengan menggunakan indeks saprobitas. Hasil identifikasi sampel plankton yang dijumpai berjumlah 17 genus fitoplankton dalam 2 kelas berbeda, yaitu diatom dan Dinoflagellate, serta 3 genus zooplankton kelas copepoda. Dari hasil penelitian ini, kelas fitoplankton yang paling banyak tercacah adalah diatom atau Bacillariophyceae. Rata – rata kelimpahan fitoplankton (Diatom dan Dinoflagellata) dari hasil penelitian sebesar 15.503 ind/L. Hal ini, berarti bahwa kelimpahan perairan pada lokasi penelitian dalam kondisi tinggi (eutotrof). Jenis zooplankton yang tercacah merupakan zooplankton kelas copepoda yang terdiri atas Oithona sp.; Corycaeus sp.; dan Paracalunus sp. Analisis SI dan TSI cenderung menunjukan perairan berada pada kategori tercemar ringan sampai sedang, dimana perairan berada pada tingkat β- Mesosaprobik.Kata Kunci: Biji Nikel; Fitoplankton; Zooplankton; Indeks SI dan TSI
Analysis of Mangrove Vegetation and Distribution Using Landsat 8 Images In Bolaang Mongondow East, North Sulawesi
Get PDFMangrove is one of the objects that can be identified by remote sensing technology using satellite imagery. Analysis of the distribution and density of mangrove vegetation using Landsat 8 imagery was carried out in Bolaang Mongondow Timur, North Sulawesi in September 2020. This study aims to map the distribution of mangroves and determine the correlation between NDVI values, canopy cover, and mangrove density. The data analysis used Landsat 8 images with ENVI 5.3 and ArcGIS 10.1 software. Maximum likelihood classification is used to separate mangrove and non-mangrove features. The calculation of mangrove vegetation density using the NDVI algorithm and single-channel classification using the density slice method to divide mangrove density based on the range of pixel values of the NDVI image. Next, to test the accuracy of the classification results using an error matrix (confusion matrix) and the NDVI vegetation index correlation test compared with canopy cover and density data. The classification resulted in four different land cover classes with an overall accuracy of 97.70% and a kappa coefficient of 0.9688. The mangrove vegetation distribution from the classification results is 524.75 ha. The NDVI correlation with the percentage of canopy cover is very significant with a correlation coefficient (r) = 0.9516, while the NDVI correlation with density resulted in moderate correlation (r = 0.5315).Keywords: density; mangrove; Landsat 8; NDVIÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â AbstrakMangrove merupakan salah satu objek yang dapat diidentifikasi menggunakan teknologi penginderaan jauh yakni memanfaatkan citra satelit.
