Abstract

Research on microplastic (MP) accumulation in marine organisms' tissue have been widely conducted, as well as research on microplastic biodegradation by microbial organisms from the environment. Agelas conifera sponge is proven to accumulate MP in its tissue as well as having bacteria as symbiotic organism. This research aims to screen and study biodegradation activities of A. conifera symbiotic bacteria on MP polymers, also to identify the species of those bacteria isolates. Bacterial Isolation of A. conifera sponge tissue was using Zobell 2216E agar media. Screening and biodegradation assay of the bacteria isolates was conducted on Marine Salt Media agar that was added with 0,5 g of MP polymers, using Kroc-Boral method. Diameter of clear (bacterial growth) zone surrounding Kroc-Boral indicated the biodegradation activity of the bacterial isolates. Statistical analysis on the activity was using Two Way ANOVA. Results showed that there were 9 bacterial isolates of 53 that could degrade several MP polymers, with different activities (ANOVA, p value 0.05). High and low-density polymers (Linear- Low Density PolyEthylene/ LLDPE, Polyethylene/PE, and Polyvinyl Chloride/ PVC) were found to be degraded by all 9 isolates. Meanwhile, Polyethylen Taraphtalene (PET) and Polystyrene (PS) only degraded by 8 and 3 isolates, respectively. There are only 5 isolates that have high biodegradation index (1.5) on different polymers, which mostly on PET polymer. Isolate Ac8MP found to be the most bacteria that have degradation index on all polymers more than 1. This research proves that symbiotic bacteria could have a biodegradation mechanism on MP polymers that accumulates by sponge-host. However, further study needs to be done to understand the mechanisms and effectiveness of sponge-bacterial biodegradation activity.Keywords:Dumbo catfishLeukocytesErythrocytesGlucoseMusa AcuminataAeromonas hydrophila

Abstract

Whale shark occurrence in Probolinggo differs from other Indonesian locales, suggesting a link to zooplankton availability. Zooplankton composition and whale shark emergence are the focus of this study. From December 2017 to November 2018, six observation points were made each month. A plankton net filters and lugol preserves water. Olympus CX23 microscope observations were repeated twice. The spatial analysis revealed varying whale shark numbers at each station (Chi-square test, X2 = 1418.6, P <0.05), with six sharks observed at station PR_5. Zooplankton numbers were similar at each location. Temporal analysis revealed significant differences in whale shark appearance each month (Chi-square test, X2 = 81.04, P <0.05), with March and November having the highest appearance among the three individuals. The amount of zooplankton varied (Chi-square test, X2 = 148.61, P <0.05), with the highest abundance in April and March. Whale shark appearance and zooplankton composition were not correlated (r = 0.01, P< 0.05) both geographically and temporally. Whale sharks were linked to zooplankton kinds. Results indicate whale sharks are particularly interested in Acartia sp. (r = 0.3, P < 0.05). This suggests that whale sharks' appearance is determined by their demand for food, not zooplankton availability.
