| dc.description.abstract | Marine sponges are a valuable and an impressive host for new and
uncommon actinomycete genera, and targeting these genera in the future could lead
to the discovery of novel compounds. Therefore, research into the potential of
actinomycetes associated with marine sponges is necessary to determine the
potential of sponge-associated bacteria. This research aims to isolate actinomycetes
sponge-associated bacteria, identify actinomycetes bacteria from marine sponges
with morphological, molecular, biochemical assays, and further screen for their
enzymatic potential. The result shows the number of bacterial colonies isolated with
ISP-2 medium was lower compared to AIA medium. The result from the enzymatic
assays reveals that the bacterial isolate RI.AI.146 has the potential to produce
enzymes and hydrolase cellulose and amylase. Based on molecular identification,
the isolate RI.AI.146 has high similarity with Bacillus cereus, whereas based on
morphological and biochemical tests, the isolate has characteristics of Streptomyces
