Abstract. Rozirwan, Muda HI, Ulqodry TZ. 2020. Short Communication: Antibacterial potential of Actinomycetes isolated from mangrove sediment in Tanjung Api-Api, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 5723-5728. Actinomycetes play an important role in the decomposition process of organic matter in mangrove sediments. This study was carried out to identify and evaluate the antagonistic activity of actinomycetes from mangrove sediment against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Identification of actinomycetes was performed based on morphological dan physiological characters. The antagonistic test was carried out against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. A total of ten isolates had been successfully isolated and grouped into eight genera, including; Oerskovia H1, Micrococcus H2, Nocardia H3, Sporichtya H5, Corynebacterium H6, Jonesia H7, Actinomyces H10, and Streptomyces H8, H11, H12. Actinomycetes from mangrove sediment were gram-positive bacillus. The shape of the colony varied from circular to filamentous and irregular, with medium and large colony sizes. The colony appears white or yellow. The surface is convex and flat, aerobes and facultative anaerobes; capable of fermenting glucose. Five isolates have very strong growth inhibition activity against E. coli: Nocardia H3 (27.81mm ± 1.39), Actinomycetes H10 (27.75mm ± 2.48), Corynebacterium H6 (27.69mm ± 2.39), Micrococcus H2 (18.55mm ± 2.44), and Streptomyces H8 (17.92mm ± 2.70) while Streptomyces H8 (24.83mm ± 2.08), and Actinomycetes H10 (16.06mm ± 2.49) were active against S. aureus.

Berbak Sembilang National Park of South Sumatra Region (BSNP South Sumatera) is the largest mangrove ecosystem in the western part of Indonesia. Monitoring of mangrove coverage in BSNP South Sumatera carried out using Landsat-8 imagery data based on NDVI values (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) integrated with mangrove LAI (Leaf Area Index) data. The research purpose was to analyze the mangrove coverage and mapping the density of the mangrove vegetation canopy with the integration of remote sensing data and LAI. This research conducted field survey with LAI measurement of mangrove canopy coverage and integrated with remote sensing data to validate map. The determination and correlation coefficient of NDVI and LAI value of canopy coverage was high (R2 = 0.69 ; r = 83.07).The results of research indicated that the overall distribution of the mangrove area was 94,622.05 ha. The NDVI image integration map with LAI resulted in 4 mangrove canopy density classes consisted of rare canopy (688.80 ha ; 0.73%), moderately dense canopy (1,139.55 ha ; 1.2%), dense canopy (35,003.46 ha ; 37%), and very dense canopy (57,790.20 ha ; 61.07%). Taman Nasional Berbak Sembilang wilayah Sumatera Selatan (TNBS Sumsel) merupakan kawasan ekosistem mangrove terluas di wilayah Indonesia bagian barat. Pemantauan kerapatan kanopi vegetasi mangrove di TNBS Sumsel dilakukan menggunakan data Citra Landsat-8 berdasarkan nilai NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) yang diintegrasikan dengan data LAI (Leaf Area Index) mangrove di lapangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tutupan vegetasi mangrove dan memetakan sebaran kerapatan kanopi mangrove dengan integrasi data penginderaan jauh dan LAI. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pengolahan data survei lapangan dan hasil pengolahan citra satelit. Nilai koefisien determinasi dan korelasi antara nilai NDVI dengan nilai LAI tutupan Kanopi di Lapangan dikategorikan tinggi (R2 = 0,69 ; r = 83,07). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tutupan mangrove secara keseluruhan seluas 94.622,05 ha. Peta integrasi citra NDVI dengan LAI mangrove di lapangan menghasilkan 4 kelas kerapatan kanopi mangrove yakni kanopi jarang seluas 688,80 ha (0,73%), kanopi sedang seluas 1.139,55 ha (1,2%), kanopi lebat seluas 35.003,46 ha (37%), dan kanopi sangat lebat seluas 57.790,20 ha (61,07%).
