The improper and uncontrolled uses of antibiotics against pathogenic bacteria have resulted in theoccurrence of Multi Drugs Resistant bacteria. There is now an urgency to find alternative antibioticsto combat these bacteria. The metabolites from microorganisms are a rapidly growing field, due, atleast in part, to the suspicion that a number of metabolites obtained from algae and invertebrates maybe produced by associated microorganisms. Therefore, there is a shift in the search for secondarymetabolites from terrestrial to marine environment. Sponge-associated microorganisms are among ofthe most interesting and promising marine natural product sources, which produce polyketide and nonribosomal peptide products with various biological activities. In this study, marine bacteria wereisolated from sponge Haliclona sp. collected from North Java Sea, and were screened for antibacterialactivity against MDR strains. One out of 32 bacterial isolates were successfully screened and werefound to be active against MDR strains, strain Escherichia coli and strain Proteus sp., respectively.These active isolates were also capable of amplifying NRPS gene fragments necessary for thebiosynthesis of non ribosomal peptides. The identification results revealed that the active isolates areArthrobacter sp.

A molecular-based study was conducted to estimate the richness of the Vibrio on tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon Fab.) from brackish water pond of Mororejo, Kendal. Tiger shrimps were collected from the extensive brackish water pond and a total of 22 isolates were obtained from hepatopancreas and telson of tiger shrimp. Based on the repetitive sequence-based polymerase chain reaction (rep-PCR), it was found that two groups of Vibrio. To investige the efectiveness of rep-PCR in estimating the richness of Vibrio on tiger shrimps, three isolates (JTW 01, JTW 03 and JTW 06) were chosen for further investigation. On the basis of sequence analysis, the result showed that the JTW 01, JTW 03 and JTW 06 were closely related to Vibrio sp. Absa7 clone 423.1, Vibrio splendidus and Vibrio splendidus, respectively. The result proved that two assosiated of Vibrio on tiger shrimp were Vibrio sp. Absa7 clone 423.1 and Vibrio splendidus. Therefore the present study highlights the effectiveness of rep-PCR in rapid grouping and estimating the richness of Vibrio on tiger shrimp.

In order to elucidate the role of hydrostatic pressure on the distribution of marine microorganisms, deep-sea water samples from north-western Pacific Ocean were collected and used as the source of barophilic bacteria. One isolate, JTW-863 was obtained from a depth of 6000 m, while two isolates, MTW-1 and MTW-13, were obtained from a depth of 10,500 m. Phylogenetic analysis based on PCR-amplified 16S rDNA revealed that JTW-863 belonged to Moritella, while MTW-1 was mostly related to Shewanella. On the other hand, MTW-13 was affiliated with the uncultured clone NB1-d from deep environment.

Deep-sea environment characterized by its low temperature, high hydrostatic pressure, limited nutrient contents, and constant darkness has been a hostile environment for most marine microorganisms. Therefore it is a home for low temperature and high pressure-loving bacteria believed to functionally over shallow water intruders. Deep-sea has been regarded as rainforests in terms of their microbial diversity. Thus, the deep-sea should commend itself to microbiologists and biotechnologists alike as source of novel microorganisms and exploitable properties. Near Indonesia several deep-sea trenches exist with diverse environmental conditions. However, up to now there has been no effort to study the microbial communities of those deep-sea environments by Indonesian scientists. This is mainly because of the lack of knowledge in the field of deep-sea microbiology in Indonesia.

Grouping of 78 psychrotrophic bacteria isolated from surface and deep-sea waters of the north-western Pacific Ocean was carried out by RFLP analysis on the basis of PCR-amplified 16S rDNA. Six RFLP patterns from surface water and eight RFLP patterns from deep-sea water were obtained by HhaI digestion. F pattern was only found in the surface water, while g, h, and I patterns exclusively exited in the deep-sea water. It was clearly shown that RFLP patterns of HhaI digestion were clear and distinguishable. This method is very simple and promises a rapid tool to group numerous isolated from natural environments.

A total of 42 coral-associated bacteria were screened for their ability to produce secondary metabolites by using 16S rDNA-based approach. A specific oligonucleotides primer was used to amplify DNA non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS). Five strains were found to carry the NRPS gene and successfully inhibit the growth of other coral-associated and pathogenic bacteria. The phylogenetic characterization revealed that four strains belonged to currently known species Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea, Vibrio tubiashi, Vibrio carchiariae and Bacillus iodinum. On the other hand, one strain was apparently closely related with an unknown group of the gamma Proteobacteria, which was only recognized as uncultured clone 141H2.

A total of 90 bacterial isolates were obtained from association with sponges collected from Bandengan water, Jepara and Karimun island of Karimunjawa islands in the north java sea. Antibacterial screening by using a pathogenic Escherichia coli indicated that two isolates BSP.12 and MKSP.5 inhihited the growth of tested strain. Molecular identification based on 16S rDNA approach revealed that isolate BSP.12 was closely related to Vibrio harveyi with a homology of 100% and isolate MKSP.5 showed highest similarity to Brachybacterium rhamnosum (99%), respectively.A PCR-based approach by using specific primers targeting the occurrence of gene fragments necessary for the biosynthesis of major natural products, namely Non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS) and Polyketide synthases (PKS) was applied to estimate the genetic potential of these active strains. Both isolates were capable of amplifying the NRPS gene fragments but not the PKS gene fragments.

Coral reefs are the most diverse marine ecosystems; however, little is known about their microbialdiversity in these ecosystems. The present study is aimed at investigating the general insights into thediversity of the bacterial community associated with the coral Galaxea fascicularis. A culture collectionof 45 bacteria associated with coral G. fascicularis from Ujung Kulon, Indonesia was established byplating on Zobell’s 2214E. Isolates were screened by means of RLFP and sequencing of representative16S rDNAs. Using the restriction enzyme HaeIII, isolates were classified into 8 pattern group. Thesequence results indicated that a high diversity of bacterial phylotypes was present within the coralGalaxea fascicularis. In general, there are three major groups of bacteria: (i) members of the division Firmicutes , (ii) Actinobacteria, and (iii) γ-proteobacteria. Phylogenetic data on microbial communitycomposition in coral G. fascicularis will help in the rational selection of culture conditions to improvethe diversity of bacteria and the knowledge on the physiological, biochemical, genetic, and molecularproperties of coral bacteria.

Coral reef is a productive ecosystem with high biodiversity in the sea and being targeted to find a useful bioactive compound. However, the serious problem in development of bioactive compounds from marine invertebrate is the supply problem, because to get a small amounts of active compounds a massive numbers of sea organisms are needed. Tunicate is an animal in coral reef ecosystem that produces many bioactive compounds with pharmacological activities, such as, antibacterial, antitumor, and anticancer compounds. It has been reported that bacterial symbionts of coral reef invertebrates may synthesize the same compounds as the host. The purposes of this research are to isolate and to identify microbes which have antibacterial activity against MDR bacteria based PCR 16S rRNA and to detect the existence of PKS and NRPS biosynthetic gene fragments from tunicate bacteria of Didemnum molle. Out of 15 bacterial isolates, one isolate showed antibacterial potential against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus sp. Molecular identification result showed that TS2A5 bacterium has a homology of 99 % with Virgibacillus sp. strain GSP17 16S ribosomal RNA gene. This isolate was also capable of amplifying NRPS gene fragment.
