Abstract

Microplastic pollution in the marine environment seriously threatens aquatic ecosystems, including in the coastal areas of Bagansiapiapi, Riau Province. This study aims to isolate and identify microplastic-degrading bacteria from the sea surface and test their degradation ability. Sampling was carried out at three different locations in the Bagansiapiapi waters, and then isolation, morphological identification, and biochemical tests were carried out at the Marine Microbiology Laboratory, Universitas Riau. Microplastic degradation tests using LDPE plastic were carried out for 30 days, and molecular identification was carried out using the 16S rRNA PCR method. The results showed significant differences in the number of bacteria between stations. Station I (port area) showed the highest bacterial density of 31.8 × 10⁴ CFU/ml. Six of the 14 bacterial isolates obtained showed the ability to degrade microplastics, with ISL 14 (Bacillus sp.) showing the highest degradation percentage of 30.38%. This finding shows the potential for utilizing local bacteria as bioremediation agents for microplastics in the marine environment effectively and environmentally friendly

Abstract

Environmental damage is caused by coastal reclamation to advance the economic sector in Batam City. Reclamation can cause changes in the coastline of Batam City. This study aims to determine the extent of changes in the coastline that occurred in Batam City from 2003 to 2023 and to understand the pattern of ocean current circulation in Batam City before reclamation in 2003 and after reclamation in 2023. This study was conducted in January 2024. The method used for data analysis to observe changes in the coastline is the Digital Shoreline Analysis System. Numerical models available in the MIKE21 software to model water circulation in estuary beaches. The study results show that land additions dominated changes in the coastline of Batam City from 2003 to 2023. The sub-district with the most significant addition was Bengkong, with an addition of 816.58 m and an addition rate of 39.79 m/year, followed by Nongsa, with an addition of 279.05 m and an accretion rate of 13.59 m/year. The flow pattern during the ebb and flow before reclamation had a maximum speed of 0.27 m/s, while after reclamation, the maximum current speed increased to 0.33 m/s. It can be concluded that the progression of the coastline primarily drove the changes in Batam City's coastline from 2003 to 2023. Meanwhile, the increasing current speed can reach 0.33 m/s

Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the secondary metabolite prile in the leaf extract of Lumnitzera racemosa, which has potential as a natural antibacterial agent. Leaf samples were collected from the mangrove area of Pecinta Alam Bahari (PAB), Dumai City, and extracted with 96% ethanol using a maceration method. Phytochemical tests were conducted qualitatively on seven groups of compounds, namely alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, saponins, tannins, triterpenoids, and steroids. Analysis revealed the presence of flavonoids, phenolics, and triterpenoids, while alkaloids, saponins, tannins, and steroids were not detected. The identified compounds have different antibacterial mechanisms but are effective in disrupting the structure and function of bacterial cells. These findings suggest the potential of L. racemosa leaf extract as a source of bioactive compounds for health and aquaculture applications.

Abstract

Microorganisms that live in extreme conditions in mangrove ecosystems have unique defence mechanisms that enable them to produce secondary metabolites that function as antibiotics. One of them is the wood ant (Camponotus melanus), which is commonly found in mangrove ecosystems and plays a significant role in these ecosystems. This study aims to identify bacteria associated with C. melanus based on morphological characteristics and biochemical tests, and to test their antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria (Aeromonas hydrophila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus). This study was conducted from September to November 2025. The method used was a survey method. The research was conducted from September to November 2025. C. melanus samples were taken from the Marine Station mangrove forest, Dumai City, Riau Province, and analyzed at the Marine Microbiology Laboratory, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine, Universitas Riau. The isolation and identification results yielded three bacterial isolates: C1 and C2, suspected to be Bacillus sp., and C3, suspected to be Citrobacter sp. The antibacterial activity test results of the three isolates produced inhibition zones. This indicates that the three isolates have the potential to serve as sources of promising antibiotic compounds for further development
