Abstract

The goal of this research was to find the optimal media for growing B. cereus bacteria with various carbon sources. This study used an experimental method with two Bacillus cereus bacterium isolates, namely B. cereus strain SN7 (isolate N) and a consortium of bacteria isolates (a combination of several B. cereus isolates with different strains). The two isolates were grown in sago liquid waste media, tofu liquid waste media, and molasses liquid waste media supplemented with a protein source, skim milk, with three replications in each treatment. Bacterial culture growth was measured every 6 hours for 24 hours using two methods: the TPC method and bacterial cell biomass measurement. According to the results of this study's measurements, molasses waste media was the best modified medium for B.cereus growth. The difference in growth between the B. cereus strain SN7 bacterial isolates and the consortium cultured on molasses media was not significant. The isolates with the largest number of cell growth were B. cereus consortium isolates, with 2,023 x108 CFU/mL in the TPC method and 1,011 g/mL in the biomass measurement method at 24 hours.

Abstract

Caulepa racemosa is a type of sea grape from the group of green algae (Chlorophyceae) that can be found in Indonesian waters. Coastal communities use this species as a source of daily food. Besides being a food ingredient, C. racemosa can be used for medical purposes because it contains antioxidants. The distribution of C. racemosa and its density in waters depends on the type of substrate and season. The substrate in the cultivation container is an essential factor in cultivating C. racemosa. Various substrates have different characteristics and influence the growth of C. racemosa. This research aims to analyze the best substrate for the survival of seaweed on a laboratory scale. This research used an experimental method using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments, namely different substrates of sand, coral, volcanic rock, and coral sand. The results of this research are that different types of substrates have a real influence on the survival rate of C. racemosa cultivated on a laboratory scale. Sand substrate gave the best results: a survival rate of 112.83%, a final weight of 22.56 g, and the highest antioxidant content on volcanic rock substrate of 83.19%. This research concludes that differences in substrate directly influence the survival rate and final weight of C.racemosa. The substrate that provided the best survival rate of 112.83% was sand substrate.

Abstract

Mangrove ecosystems are unique ecosystems found along the coast or river mouths that are still influenced by tides. Association is a process of interaction between organisms and their environment which is not simple but a complex process. One of the biota associated with mangroves is macrozoobenthos. This research was conducted in August 2021. The purpose of the study was to determine environmental conditions, mangrove species and density, macrozoobenthic species and density, and the relationship between macrozoobenthic density and mangrove forest density in Dumai waters. Based on the results of the study, the types of macrozoobenthos were found from the gastropod and bivalves classes. The type that is found in all stations is Nerita lineata. The highest density is at station III, which is 19.11 ind/m2. Mangroves in Dumai waters are classified as dense with the dominant species being Rhizophora apiculata and Xylocarpus granatum. The relationship between the density of macrozoobenthos and the density of mangroves belongs to the medium category.

Abstract

Marine debris is a threat that is currently the biggest problem in the world due to the impact that trash can have on the survival of aquatic biota. This research was conducted to analyze the type and abundance and differences in the abundance of marine debris found in the northern coastal area of Bengkalis Island, Riau Province, which is assumed to be a location with the potential for accumulation of waste that could threaten the life of biota in the waters. The method used is the survey method, namely collecting data, documentation, and observation. Waste collection is carried out at three stations by determining the research location along 100 m and dividing each 20 m so there are five transects. Then, on each transect, a plot with a size of 5x5 m was made. Then, collect every type of waste contained in the plot. The results showed that plastic waste was the most common type (62%), while wood was the least found (1%). The abundance of waste on weekends is higher than on weekdays. The difference in the abundance of waste between stations was not significantly different, while the difference between the abundance of time (weekdays and weekends) was significantly different.
