Abstract

Soft corals ar known to have a variety of bioactivity capabilities, one of them is antibacterial. Antibacterial is a compound that can interfere with the growth of bacteria or even kill the bacteria. The soft coral samples, Lobophytum sp., obtained from  Pangalisang, Bunaken Island, wer extracted by evaporative process, then fractionated into three fractions by aqueous partitioning technique with aqueous solvents, ethyl acetate, methanol and n-hexane. Antibacterial testing, with bacterial samples of Pseudomonas aeruginaso and Staphylococcus aureus were analyzed by agar diffusion / Kirby Bauer method. The results of the experiment showed that every fraction had antibacterial activity, where the largest activity was produce at concentration of 50 disc paper sampes with  7 mm (water fraction), 8 mm ( metanol fraction), 7,2 mm (n-hexane fraction) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 7 mm (water fraction), 8,7 mm ( metanol fraction) in Staphylcoccus aureus. It can be concluded that the  inhibition zone from soft corals, Lobophytum sp., is classified as a weak activity, so it does not potential to be developed into an antibacterial drug.Keywords: Antibacterial, Lobophytum sp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylcoccus aureus.ABSTRAKKarang lunak diketahui mempunyai berbagai bioaktivitas salah satunya antibakteri. Antibakteri merupakan senyawa yang dapat mengganggu pertumbuhan atau bahkan dapat mematikan bakteri. Sampel karang lunak Lobophytum sp. yang diperoleh dari perairan Pangalisang Pulau Bunaken diambil ekstrak kentalnya melalui proses evaporasi, selanjutnya difraksinasi menjadi tiga fraksi dengan teknik partisi cair dengan pelarut aquades, etil asetat, metanol dan n-heksan. Pengujian antibakteri terhadap bakteri Pseudomonas aeruginosa  dan Staphylococcus aureus dianalisis dengan metode difusi agar (disc diffusion Kirby and Bauer). Hasil penelitian menunjukan ketiga fraksi memiliki aktivitas antibakteri, dimana aktivitas terbesar dihasilkan pada konsentrasi sampel dalam kertas cakram 50 μl dengan zona hambat 7mm (fraksi air), 8 mm (fraksi metanol), 7,2 mm (fraksi n-heksan) pada Pseudomonas aeruginosa dan 7 mm (fraksi air), 8,7 mm (fraksi metanol) pada Staphylococcuss aureus. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa zona hambat yang dihasilkan karang lunak Lobophytum sp. tergolong lemah sehingga tidak berpotensi untuk dikembangkan sebagai obat antibakteri.Kata kunci: Antibakteri, Lobophytum sp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylcoccus aureus.

Abstract

Marine algae are abundant natural resources in Indonesia but have not been optimally utilized. Utilization of seaweed is still limited as food ingredients such as Gracillaria sp. cultivated as an industrial export material. Algae Gracillaria sp. his life is symbiotic with a variety of types of bacteria. The aim of the study was to isolate and screening the protease activity of the symbionic bacteria of Gracillaria sp. This study succeeded in isolating 4 different bacteria based on morphological characteristics. The four isolates were S.G.,1,  S.G.2, S.G.3 and S.G.,4. Isolate S.G. 1 had the ability to produce ptotease with a proteolytic index of 1.5.Keywords : Gracilaria sp., Protease, Symbiont Bacteria ABSTRAKAlga laut merupakan sumberdaya alam yang melimpah di Indonesia tetapi belum optimal dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat. Pemanfaatan rumput laut masih terbatas sebagai bahan makanan seperti Gracillaria sp. dibudidayakan sebagai bahan ekspor industri karajinan. Alga Gracillaria sp. hidupnya bersimbion dengan beraneka ragam jenis bakteri. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengisolasi dan menguji aktivitas protease bakteri simbion alga Gracillaria sp. Penelitian ini berhasil mengisolasi 4 bakteri yang berbeda berdasarkan karakteristik morfologi. Keempat bekteri tersebut adalah S.G., 1 S.G., 2 S.G., 3 dan S.G., 4 Isolat bakteri  S.G., 1 memiliki kemampuan   menghasilkan ptotease dengan Indeks proteolitik sebesar 1,5.Kata Kunci  : Bakteri simbion, Gracillaria sp. protease
