Abstract

The presence of plastic waste in the ocean significantly impacts pollution. Lightweight plastic is transported by currents and waves, eventually accumulating in sediment. Its slow decomposition is influenced by composition and environmental conditions. Using a survey method at three stations in Padang City’s coastal waters, this study aims to investigate the composition and quantity of microplastics in sediment. Variations in microplastic levels across stations were analyzed using One-Way ANOVA, and differences between dry and wet zones and depths of 0-10 cm and 10-20 cm were examined with Independent Samples T-tests. Three microplastic categories were identified: fibers, fragments, and films, with an average concentration of 100.55 particles/kg. The Ulak Karang Beach estuary exhibited the highest particle concentration (129.16 particles/kg), whereas Banana Beach, characterized by minimal human activity, displayed the lowest concentration. There were significant differences (p<0.05) in the abundance of microplastics between stations. It was observed that the dry zone exhibited a higher concentration of particles (125.00 particles/kg) in contrast to the wet zone (76.66 particles/kg). In the 0-10 cm depth range, there was a higher abundance of microplastics (111.66 particles/kg) compared to the 10-20 cm depth range (89.44 particles/kg). The abundance of microplastics was significantly different (p<0.05) between the two coastal zones but not significantly different (p>0.05) between depths. Several possible causes of these differences were examined, but further research is needed to investigate other oceanographic factors and gain a more comprehensive understanding

Abstract

Seaweed is known to have several bioactive compounds that function as secondary metabolites and antioxidants. This study aims to determine the compounds in the seaweed Eucheuma cottoni and Gracilaria verucossa and their effects on Escherichia coli bacteria. This research was conducted from February to April 2022. The research method used was the experimental method by performing phytochemical tests and the disc method on bacteria. Conclusions can be drawn because of the results of the research that has been done. Seaweed E.cottoni and G.verucossa contain steroidal compounds. The effect on the growth of E.coli bacteria at concentrations (5%) 8.24 mm, (10%) 8.5 mm, and (15%) 8.62 mm was classified as moderate
