Lobster (Panulirus homarus) or spiny lobster is one of the export commodities of the Indonesian fisheries subsector and an important component for shrimp fisheries in Indonesia. This commodity needs to be further developed because of its high trade value and potential. Lobster enlargement cultivation in Indonesia began in early 2000, with the discovery of puerulus attachments in the waters of the bay of Lombok. However, in this lobster cultivation business failure often occurs due to the high mortality caused by infectious diseases which are generally caused by bacterial, parasitic, fungal, and viral infections. The bacteria that infect lobsters can reduce the expected production target. However, bacteria in lobster culture could have beneficial or harmful effects, depending on the prevailing conditions. This study aims to identify bacteria in spiny lobsters (Panulirus homarus). Bacterial isolation came from organs in spiny lobsters, that are hepatopancreas and hemolymph. Bacteria isolates were identified through their colony morphology and biochemical tests. Characterization on the Thiosulfate Citrate Bile Salt Sucrose medium showed that lobsters were infected with Vibrio. Based on Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology and Nial, the results showed that the Hepatopancreas in first lobsters were infected with Vibrio algynolyticus that mostly in the Hepatopancreas. The second sample was found to be infected with Vibrio damsela that mostly in the Hepatopancreas. However, no bacteria were found in spiny lobster hemolymph.
Catfish is one of the freshwater aquaculture commodities with a high level of consumption and production in Indonesia. Disease outbreaks could occur in catfish farming activities caused by pathogenic bacteria. Several species of pathogenic bacteria can cause disease in catfish, resulting in mass death. This can lead to decrease in the food quality of freshwater fishery products, especially catfish. In cultured system, aquaculture occurrence of diseases can cause severe financial losses. Catfish samples were obtained from catfish farming with clinical symptoms of reddish spots on the outside of the body. Bacteria were isolated from the kidney and liver under aseptic conditions. These bacteria isolates were identified through their colony morphology, Gram staining, biochemical tests, molecular test, and antibacterial test of Bacillus spp. using spot and disc diffusion test. Identification based on 16S rRNA gene showed that GL1 was 99.92% closely related to Aeromonas widowei, HL1 was 100% closely to Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, and GL2 and HL2 was closely related to Bacillus cereus. The antibacterial test results of APD10 isolates of Bacillus velenzensis species inhibited GL2 pathogenic bacteria with an inhibition zone of 22.15 mm in the very strong inhibition zone and HL2 pathogenic bacteria with an inhibition zone of 8.5 mm in the moderate inhibition zone. Bacillus velezensis was isolated from the sponge Aplysina sp. could be further utilized as a biocontrol agent for the pathogenic bacteria, Bacillus cereus, that infects catfish.

Hand is the main transmission pathogen entry into the body which is the part of the body that is most often in direct contact with other limbs and surrounding objects. The importance of maintaining hand hygiene by always washing hands with soap is the first step in preventing transmission of COVID-19. However, during a pandemic like this, it will be difficult to find soap available everywhere, and tends to be hard to carry all the time. Therefore, this service aims to invite the people of Pematang Gubernur, Bengkulu City, to use paper soap because it is easier to use its use and flexible to carry anywhere besides being an effort to prevent the COVID-19 outbreak, it can also add to new information and skills for residents in making attractive soaps. The feedback response given by the community service implementation team to the community service participants resulted in a positive response to this activity, who initially did not know about making and use of paper soap and became aware of this.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
