Abstract
p>0,05), sehingga unsur hara yang lebih banyak dibutuhkan adalah nitrat. Namun tingginya nitrat dapat memicu terjadinya eutrofikasi.  Kata Kunci : Bakteri Heterotrof; Bahan Organik Total; Nitrat; Klorofil-A; Muara Sungai Cipasauran ABSTRACT Cipasauran estuarine ecosystems utilized by local communities for household activities, such as bathing, washing clothes and fishing activities. These activities led to an influx of wastewater into waterways of the river. Downstream Cipasauran Estuary, ends at Anyer Beach. Fishing activities around Anyer Beach indicates the relatively good water quality. The purpose of this study is to determine the distribution of heterotrophic bacteria, total organic material, nitrate and chlorophyll-a, as well as to study the relationship between those variables. The material used in this study is water sampled from 4 location, at the estuary of Cipasauran down to Anyer Beach. The study used purposive sampling technique. Sampling was conducted at intervals of two weeks, each with two replication. The results showed that number heterotrophic bacteria in four stations ranged between 250-2500 cfu/ml, where as total organic materials ranged from 27.83 to 100,64 mg/l, nitrates ranged from 4.12 to 11.8 mg/l, and  chlorophyll-a at four stations ranged from 0.01 to 6.31 mg/m3. Cipasauran estuarine included in the fertile waters (Eutrofik). Regression analysis showed a significant increase in heterotrophic bacterial organic matter total (0.02
p>0.05), so the more nutrient elements needed is nitrate. But high nitrate can trigger the onset of eutrophication.               Keywords: Heterotrophic Bacteria, Total Organic Material, Nitrate, Chlorophyll-a Cipasauran EstuaryÂ
