Abstract. Sukmawati S, Rosalina F, Sipriyadi, Dewi NK, Yunita M, Sarhan ART, Rahayu Y, Kusumawati E. 2022. Short Communication: Bacterial diversity of mangrove ecosystem in Klawalu Sorong, West Papua, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 1427-1432. The mangrove ecosystem is a producer of detritus and a source of nutrients and organic matter. Some of the ecological functions of mangrove forests are coastline protector, preventing seawater intrusion, as a habitat for various living creatures, a microclimate regulator, a nursery ground, spawning ground, as well as a feeding ground for various aquatic biota. The mangrove forest ecosystem cannot be separated from the role of microbes in helping the process of soil biochemical cycles. In the biochemical cycle, microbes are able to maintain the availability of macronutrients in the soil. The objective of this study was to identify the diversity of bacteria in the mangrove ecosystem in Klawalu, Sorong City. The research method descriptively described the diversity of bacterial species found in the mangrove ecosystem in Klawalu, Sorong City, West Papua Province. The results indicated that the DNA fragments of the four isolates obtained from this study were around 1300 bp. Meanwhile, the bacterial species obtained were isolated SA3, identified as Bacillus safensis strain C251, isolate SA8 identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain NO10, isolate SL8 was identified as Clostridium sp. JC336, and isolate SL1 was identified as Bacillus australimaris strain IIHR GAPB01.

Abstract. Sukmawati S, Ratna R, Sipriyadi, Yunita M. 2023. Characterization and molecular identification of bacteria from mackerel bekasam in Sorong City, Southwest Papua Province, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 4967-4977. Bekasam is traditional food type produced by traditional fermented fish. Microbes that grow through fermentation play an important role in forming the product’s aroma, texture, and overall quality. The study aimed to determine the biochemical characteristic of bacteria from mackerel (Scomberomorus sp.) bekasam in Sorong City and identify bacteria at the molecular level. This research was a descriptive study, which described the results of the characterization of bacteria from fermented mackerel fish and the results of molecular identification to the species level through the PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technique. Then, the DNA sequences were further analyzed using the agarose gel electrophoretic separation method to visualize the bacterial DNA profile. The biochemical characterization of bacterial isolates from mackerel showed that all isolates were negative indole, and eight isolates were positive in reducing nitrate. In comparison, four isolates were negative in reducing nitrate, then all isolates had proteolytic activity except the FST 3.1 and FST 3.2 isolates. Eleven isolates were positive in hydrolyzing fat, and one isolate could not hydrolyze fat. According to the DNA patterns seen in electrophoresis and alignment of the 16 sRNA gene sequences, several types of bacteria had been identified as Bacillus paramycoides strain 2883 FST 1.1, Bacillus paramycoides strain 3665 FST 2.1, Bacillus mobilis strain ICA-144 FST 3.1, Bacillus cereus strain ATCC 14579 FNT 1.1, Bacillus mobilis strain ICA-144 FNT 2.1, and Bacillus cereus strain ATCC 14579 FNT 3.1.
