This study aimed at evaluating the antibiofilm activity of the Red Sea metabolites from green alga Avrainvillea amadelpha, sea cucumber Holothuria atra and costal plant Sarcocornia fruticosa against three biofilm bacterial strains isolated from Jeddah coast. Free fatty acids (FFAs) and other lipoidal matters were extracted from these organisms and analyzed by GC-MS. The composition of lipoidal fractions showed that A. amadelpha is rich by 74% saturated FAs, while sea cucumber H. atra revealed high content (60%) of unsaturated FAs. Palmitic acid is the major FA component in all species ranging from 14.5 to 26.7%. Phytol, sterols and hydrocarbons (C8-C29) were represented in the alga A. amadelpha as high contents with values 25.8, 21.9 and 18.5%, respectively. The extracts and lipoidal contents showed biofilm inhibitory activity against the isolated bacterial strains, where the unsaponified lipoidal fraction of S. fruticosa exhibited highest inhibitory activity against Planomicrobium sp. at concentration of 200 µg/mL.

Abstrak Informasi tentang  feeding biologi pada teripang, termasuk didalamnya tentang fungsional morfologi  dan struktur dari organ – organ yang berfungsi dalam proses feeding sangat penting untuk diketahui untuk lebih memahami proses makan pada teripang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis struktur jaringan alimentary canal  Teripang Putih (H. scabra) dari Pantai Pejarakan Bali dan Teripang Keling (H. atra) dari Pantai Bandengan Jepara melalui analisa histologi klasik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Alimentary canal Teripang Hitam dan teripang Pasir terdiri dari faring, esofagus, stomach, descending intestine 1, ascending intestine, descending intestine 2 dan cloaca.  Berdasarkan analisa histologi, struktur alimentary canal Teripang Pasir dan Teripang Hitam memiliki 3 penyusun utama, yaitu lumen, vili usus dan jaringan ikat yang merupakan serabut otot. Tiap bagian saluran pencernaan memiliki tinggi lipatan epitel vili dan ukuran vili yang berbeda, dengan lipatan tertinggi dan vili paling kecil terdapat pada bagian 4, yaitu descending intestine 1.   Kata kunci : ultrastruktur, alimentary canal, Holoturia scabra, Holoturia atra

Abstract Identification of sea cucumbers from Benteng Inong Balee, Aceh Besar and their phytochemistry screening were conducted in December 2020 to January 2021 at Laboratory of Marine Chemistry and Fisheries Biotechnology, Universitas Syiah Kuala. The purpose of this study was to identify the species of sea cucumbers and its secondary metabolite content using phytochemistry screening and column chromatography. The species of sea cucumbers that were identified was Holothuria atra. The extraction method used in sea cucumber extraction was maceration method, while the separation of secondary metabolites used column-chromatography with eluent of n-hexane : ethyl acetate (8:4). The results showed that secondary metabolites obtained from phytochemical tests were flavonoids, saponins and triterpenoids.

The high level of artemisinin resistance as the antimalarial drug makes the active substances found of lollyfish (Holothuria atra) become a very useful discovery as a new antimalarial drug. The purpose of this research is to find out the inhibitory effect of the active substances of lollyfish against the development of Plasmodium falciparum with in silico method. This is a one-shot experimental study research. Based on the test of potentially active substances of lollyfish through PubChem (https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/), there are pyrogallol and catechin that have potential as the antimalarial drug. Pyrogallol, chlorogenic acid, catechin dan ascorbic acid have indirect inhibition to P. falciparum Orotidine 5-Monophosphate Decarboxylase (PfOMPDC) through carbon dioxide (CO2) and it is visualized by STITCH DB Version 5.0 (http://stitch.embl.de/). The binding affinity score of catechin, obtained from molecular docking, is higher than other substances and artemisinin. The Physicochemical and pharmacokinetic activity of the substance was predicted through SWISS ADME (http://www.swissadme.ch/index.php), while the toxicity was predicted through Pro-Tox (http://tox.charite.de/protox_II/). Catechin is a substance in lollyfish that is the safest because its lowest toxicity and very effective to be used as the antimalarial drug because of its high lethal dose 50 (LD50). Therefore, active substances in lollyfish have inhibitory effects against the development of P. falciparum based on in silico study.
