Isolasi Dan Identifikasi Mikroba Simbion Sponge AxineIla sp.

Abstract

Sponges are host organisms for various symbiotic microorganisms. Various microorganisms have been found in sponges such as archaea, heterotrophic bacteria, cyanobacteria, green algae, red algae, cryptophytes, dinoflagellates, and diatoms. The objectives of the research were to isolate and identify the Axinella sp. sponge-symbiotic microorganisms such as bacteria, micro fungi, and yeast. Sponge-symbiotic microorganisms that have been isolated consisted of 7 bacteria isolates, 3 micro fungi, and 2 yeast isolates. Result from this reasearch showed that the genus of bacteria was Alteromonas, Bacillus, and Halomonas, while a micro fungus is Aspergillus. From the sponge-symbiotic isolates obtained 2 bacteria, 1 micro fungus, and 2 yeast isolates have not been to identified.
