Abstract

Padang City is one of the cities with a long coastline. The Padang City government has made many reforms to manage the beach area as a tourist attraction. This research aimed to determine the comparison of macrozoobenthos community structure, including species composition, species abundance, relative abundance, diversity index, similarity index, dominance index, and distribution patterns in the reclaimed and natural beaches of Padang City, West Sumatra Province. The method used was purposive sampling with sample collection using the transect method. The results of this study indicate that the water quality in Padang City, West Sumatra, is sufficiently good to support macrozoobenthos life. The highest species abundance of macrozoobenthos was found at the Reclamation Beach Station. The macrozoobenthos species found belong to 2 classes: Gastropoda and Crustacea. The Gastropoda class consists of 4 species: Babylonia spirata, Pila ampullacea, Pila occidentalis, and Nerita fulgurans, while from the Crustacea class, three species were found: Ashtoret lunaris, Hemigrapsus takanoi, and Emerita sp. Meanwhile, the lowest abundance was found at the Natural Beach Station, where the species belonging to the Crustacea class, specifically H.takanoi, was found. The species diversity of macrozoobenthos at the Natural Beach Station is considered low but moderate at the Reclamation Beach Station. Similarity at the Natural Beach Station is low, while at the Reclamation Beach Station, it is high. Additionally, there is a dominant species at the Natural Beach Station, whereas no dominant species were found at the Reclamation Beach Station. The distribution pattern of macrozoobenthos in the coastal waters of Padang City is categorized as clustered distribution

Abstract

Potential of marine photosynthetic bacteria (MPB) and their biopigment extracts as antimicrobial agents against two major aquatic pathogens, Aeromonas hydrophila and Staphylococcus aureus. The research was conducted from February to April 2025. Six MPB isolates were cultured under laboratory conditions to induce pigment production. Biopigments, natural pigments produced by microorganisms, exhibit antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Pigment extraction was performed using acetone and ether, followed by evaporation to obtain concentrated pigment extracts. The antimicrobial activity of both MPB suspensions and their biopigment extracts was tested using the disc diffusion method on Mueller-Hinton Agar (MHA) media. The results showed that the MPB suspensions produced no inhibition zones against either pathogen. In contrast, the biopigment extracts demonstrated weak antimicrobial activity, with inhibition zone diameters ranging from 1 to 4 mm, a classification of weak. However, the ability of biopigment extracts to inhibit bacterial growth, even at low levels, suggests the presence of bioactive compounds with potential antimicrobial activity. These findings suggest that MPB-derived biopigments may serve as a natural alternative in future antimicrobial development

Abstract

The coral reef ecosystem on Pasumpahan Island holds significant ecological and economic value but is vulnerable to environmental pressures. This study aims to map shallow-water benthic habitats and to assess the accuracy of Sentinel-2 satellite image classification using the Lyzenga water-column correction method. The research involved radiometric correction, application of the water-column correction algorithm, and supervised classification using the Maximum Likelihood algorithm. Field validation was conducted using 30 ground-check points to assess accuracy using a confusion matrix. The analysis results indicate that the shallow waters of Pasumpahan Island are dominated by the substrate class, covering 15.75 Ha, while the coral reef class covers 7.78 Ha. The accuracy assessment yielded an Overall Accuracy of 83.3% and a Kappa Coefficient of 0.67, indicating substantial agreement and confirming the method's validity for spatial mapping. This study concludes that the Lyzenga method is effective in mapping benthic habitats with adequate accuracy, and the resulting map can serve as baseline data for area managers for conservation zoning.
