Abstract

In this study, bacterial strain KM221 was isolated from coral   tissue in Menjangan Kecil Island, Karimunjawa, Indonesia. This strain is  facultative anaerobic  with MCPA (2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxy acetic acid) serving as the only known energy sources.  Microscopy  of isolate revealed that strain KM221 is gram-positive, catalase-positive,  rod, spore-forming bacterium, motile,  opaque, hair-like outgrowth and unpigmented colonies. The bacterium could not be identified on the basis of its carbon-source-utilization pattern, but a partial sequencing of the 16S rDNA analysis suggest that this strain is closely related to Bacillus iodinum.The ability to degrade MCPA herbicide was examined qualitatively in EMBA indicator medium.  This bacterium grew exponentially with MCPA as  the sole source of energy and carbon. The maximum growth rate (m max)  and the  saturated concentration on MCPA (Cs) were determined to be  0.8024 h-1 and  5.10 mg/l MCPA, respectively.

Abstract

A local isolate of green algae called C1 from Jepara waters is usually used as a source for carotenoid supplement for animal fisheries in the local area. This indigenous algae has been successfully purificated.  Although the local isolate was known as eucaryotic green algae Dunaliella, our previous molecular study by 18S rDNA analysis to determine the species of this organisms showed negative result. In order to improve carotenoid production especially detection of biosynthetic pathway from the organisms investigated in this study, the main purpose of this study was species determination of local isolate of green algae based on microbiologycal, ecophysiologycal and molecular characterization. The results of this research  indicated that local isolate of green algae posseses Cyanobacteria characteristic, especially Synechocystis. Analyses with 16S rDNA sequence from genome of green algae isolates were also in accordance with these results, showing close similarities with Synechocystis 16S rDNA sequence.  However, it should be noted that, instead of having Synechocystis dominant feature, it was also found that local isolate of green algae exhibit different characteristic in having chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and lack of phycobillins. This character was typical for abberant Cyanophyta, Prochlorophyta.
