Abstract

Marine algae are part of marine organisms, especially plants, and are included in lower plants that do not have different skeletal structures such as roots, stems, and leaves. Although it looks different, algae is actually just a form of the thallus. Coralline algae belong to the Rhodophyta Division, Class Florideophycidae, Order Corallinales. Coralline algae are divided into two parts based on their shape (morphology), namely non-geniculate and geniculate. This study aims to identify the types of coralline algae that are crustose (non-geniculate) and branched (geniculate) found in Meras, Bunaken District and can explain the morphology of coralline algae in diffuse non-geniculate and geniculate forms. This research was conducted in Meras, Bunaken District by means of SCUBA diving at a depth of 3 – 7 meters, and samples were taken using the cruising survey method. After that, the samples were brought ashore for the next identification process. The results of the research that has been conducted on samples of coralline algae obtained in Meras, Bunaken District are that there are 2 types of non-geniculate, namely Peyssonnelia caulifera and Peyssonnelia Orientalis, and 1 species of geniculate, namely Tricleocarpa fragilis identified.Keywords: Identification, Coralline Algae, MerasAbstrakAlga laut adalah bagian dari organisme laut khususnya tumbuhan dan termasuk dalam tumbuhan tingkat rendah yang tidak mempunyai perbedaan susunan kerangka seperti akar, batang dan daun. Walaupun terlihat memiliki perbedaan, sebenarnya alga hanya merupakan bentuk talus belaka. Alga koralin tergolong kedalam Divisi Rhodophyta, Kelas Florideophycidae, Ordo Corallinales. Alga koralin terbagi menjadi dua bagian berdasarkan bentuknya (morfologi), yaitu non geniculate (tidak bercabang) dan geniculate (bercabang). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk dapat mengidentifikasi jenis alga koralin bentuk tidak bercabang (non geniculate) dan bentuk bercabang (geniculate) yang terdapat di Perairan Meras, Kecamatan Bunaken serta dapat menjelaskan morfologi alga koralin bentuk tidak bercabang (non geniculate) dan bentuk bercabang (geniculate). Penelitian ini dilakukan di Perairan Meras Kecamatan Bunaken dengan cara SCUBA diving pada kedalaman 3 – 7 meter dan sampel diambil menggunakan metode survey jelajah. Setelah itu sampel dibawa ke darat untuk proses identifikasi selanjutnya. Hasil dari penelitian yang telah dilakukan pada sampel alga koralin yang didapat di Perairan Meras, Kecamatan Bunaken adalah terdapat 2 jenis spesies alga koralin bentuk tidak bercabang (non geniculate) yaitu Peyssonnelia caulifera dan Peyssonnelia orientalis serta 1 jenis spesies alga koralin bentuk bercabang (geniculate) yaitu Tricleocarpa fragilis yang berhasil teridentifikasi.Kata Kunci: Identifikasi, Alga Koralin, Meras

Abstract

The existence of seagrass beds in a shallow water environment has an important ecological role for the organisms that depend on this ecosystem. This research was conducted with the aim of knowing the types of seagrass and the condition of the seagrass beds in the waters near Mokupa Village, where the beach is between Mokupa Resort and Lotus Resort Manado. The method used is a quadrant transect (vertically to the shoreline), the coordinates point 1°24'53" N 124°42'22" E is transect 1, 1°24'54" N 124°42'22" E is transect 2,  and 1°24'56.7" N 124°42'23.5" E is transect 3. In this study, 5 species of seagrass were found, namely: Syringodium isoetifolium, Cymodocea rotundata, Thalassia hemprichii, Enhalus acoroides, and Halophila ovalis. Cymodocea rotundata had the highest average seagrass cover per species, 15.349%, and Enhalus acoroides had the lowest average seagrass cover, 0.053%. The condition of the seagrass beds at the study site was included in the unhealthy category with a seagrass cover of 31.432%.

Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui jenis-jenis lamun dan kondisi padang lamun di perairan sekitar Desa Mokupa, dimana pantai berada di antara Mokupa Resort dan Lotus Resort Manado. Penelitian ini mengikuti Pedoman Status Padang Lamun KEPMEN LH 200/2004. Metode yang digunakan yaitu transek kuadran (tegak lurus garis pantai), dengan titik koordinat Transek 1 1°24'53" N 124°42'22" E, Transek 2 1°24'54" N 124°42'22" E, Transek 3 1°24'56.7" N 124°42'23.5" E. Pada penelitian ini ditemukan 5 jenis lamun yaitu: Syringodium isoetifolium, Cymodocea rotundata, Thalassia hemprichii, Enhalus acoroides dan Halophila ovalis. Cymodocea rotundata memiliki rata-rata penutupan lamun per jenis tertinggi yaitu 15,349%, dan Enhalus acoroides memiliki rata-rata penutupan lamun terendah yaitu 0,053%. Kondisi padang lamun di lokasi penelitian termasuk dalam kategori kurang sehat dengan penutupan lamun sebesar 31,432%. Kata kunci: Perairan Mokupa, Kondisi lamun, Penutupan, Padang lamun

Abstract

Efforts to mitigate damage to coral reef ecosystems can be made by developing techniques for coral transplantation. The purpose is to know the survival rate of coral Isopora palifera and Measure the length increase of coral Isopora palifera using the Image-J application as the measurement. The research method was that artificial blocks made of concrete were used as containers for the installation of 27 colonies of coral Isopora palifera. Data collection in the field in the form of colonies that were successfully transplanted to artificial reef units will be explored using a camera from each concrete block which will take perpendicular pictures and colony portraits from each artificial reef unit. The results are then analyzed using the Image-J application. The transplantation results survival rate in Isopora palifera coral colonies in Paputungan village is 66.6% of 100%, while the Isopora palifera coral colony increase length was around 1.51 mm/5 months or 0.302 mm/month.

Abstract

Kappaphycus alvarezii seaweed is widely cultivated in Indonesia and has important economic value. Nevertheless, this seaweed is easily attacked by diseases. This study was to determine the ice-ice triggers in seaweed farming locations. This research study was conducted at Arakan Village, South Minahasa, North Sulawesi. We performed the bacteria isolation on the infected thallus of Kappaphycus alvarezii and found Staphylococcus arlettae caused the infection. Staphylococcus aureus used to be found on the skin and mucous membranes of healthy humans, while  Staphylococcus epidermis inhabits only the skin of healthy humans. Approximately 30% of the normal healthy population was affected by Staphylococcus aureus as it asymptomatically colonizes human hosts. How this Staphylococcus arlettae (mainly found in pork farms) infected Kappaphycus alvarezii which is in a high salinity environment requires an in-depth study. We completed the experiment by using Scan Electron Microscopy–Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), analysis on infected thallus Kappaphycus alvarezii, and a series of bacteria isolation to observe the morphology and the element contents of Staphylococcus arlettae bacteria has successfully attached to the surface of Kappaphycus alvarezii and caused an infection.  This proves that environmental changes have stimulated pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus arlettae in the area where Kappaphycus alvarezii is cultivated. The mechanism of biosorption by microbes that can live in environments that are contaminated with Pb metal is active uptake. This mechanism occurs simultaneously in line with the consumption of metal ions for the growth of microorganisms. Staphylococcus arlettae are resistant to heavy metals due to the ability to detoxify the influence of heavy metals in the presence of protein or granular material. From the results of the study using SEM-EDX of algae and bacteria Staphylococcus arlettae, it can be concluded that the content of the particle of metal in thallus triggers bacteria to live on the seaweed as an energy source.
