Abstract

This study aimed to determine the frequency of Arthropod occurrence at each stage of decomposition and to assess its relationship with environmental parameters in the mangrove area of Sungai Kakap. Arthropod sampling was conducted using the hand-collecting method on days 15, 25, 35, and 45 after substrate placement. A total of 24 fronds were randomly positioned vertically at a depth of 20 cm below the soil surface, with six replication across four time-based observation points. Arthropod eggs, larvae, pupae, and imago were collected, sorted, and preserved in 70% alcohol. Specimens were identified directly through morphological observation, and the data obtained were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the Relative Frequency (RF) of Arthropods consisted of 34 genera, dominated by Amphipoda (Allorchestoides: 75% FR) and Diptera (Bactrocera: 75% FR; Eristalinus: 100% FR; Psychoda: 100% FR). An RF of 100% indicates that these genera were consistently present across all observation points and time periods, suggesting their potentially important role in the decomposition process. Variations in Arthropod presence among genera reflect changes in composition at each decomposition stage. These changes were influenced by environmental conditions, particularly salinity, pH, temperature, as well as organic carbon and nitrogen levels. These findings indicate that certain Arthropods have the potential to serve as biological indicators of decomposition stages in mangrove ecosystems. Further research is recommended to investigate microbial dynamics and changes in organic content throughout the decomposition process.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the diversity of sponge symbiont bacteria and the effectiveness of active compounds of bacteria that are symbiotic with marine sponges from Lemukutan Island waters. The methods in this study are isolation of sponge symbiont bacteria, characterization of sponge symbiont bacteria, antagonistic tests, activity tests of the best sponge symbiont bacterial isolate extract culture filtrate, and GCMS/MS tests. The results showed that nineteen isolates of sponge symbiont bacteria were successfully isolated from sponge types from Theonella cylindrica and Hyattella intestinalis sponges in Lemukutan waters. Seven isolates of sponge symbiont bacteria are included in the Gram-positive bacteria genre. While the other twelve are included in Gram-negative bacteria. Ten of the nineteen isolates of sponge symbiont bacteria have antibacterial activity for S. aureus. Isolate Sp4 10-6 B, based on the results of antagonistic tests, has an inhibition diameter of 10.28 mm, which is categorized as solid inhibition. Ethyl acetate extract of Sp4 10-6 culture filtrate has a minimum inhibitory concentration value of 0.5% against pathogenic bacteria S.aureus. The active compound with the potential for antibiotic development is the Tetradecane compound, which has the highest peak area of the eight other types of compounds. This shows that the concentration of the compound contained is higher than the other compounds. This compound is included in the aliphatic hydrocarbon and alkane groups.
