ABSTRAK: Perifiton merupakan salah satu organisme yang berkontribusi besar dalam meningkatkan produktivitas primer di ekosistem lamun. Kondisi padang lamun sangat menentukan keberadaan perifiton, sehingga pada kondisi lamun yang baik merupakan tempat yang layak untuk penempelan perifiton. Aktivitas antropogenik akan menyebabkan gangguan maupun kerusakan pada lamun sehingga mempengaruhi penempelan perifiton pada lamun. Perairan Teluk Awur dekat dengan kegiatan-kegiatan antropogenik yang dapat menyebabkan gangguan pada kondisi lingkungan sekitarnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetauhi jenis dan kelimpahan perifiton yang hidup pada lamun jenis Enhalus acoroides dan Thalassia  hemprichii, serta kelimpahan perifiton pada tiap bagian daun (pangkal, tengah dan ujung). Pengambilan sampel daun lamun dilaksanakan Bulan November 2018 di Perairan Teluk Awur, Kabupaten Jepara. Identifikasi jenis lamun dilakukan pada lokasi penelitian, dan identifikasi jenis perifiton dilakukan pada laboratorium. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian bahwa, komposisi perifiton terdapat 6 kelas terdiri dari 23 genus dengan kelimpahan tertinggi selalu terdapat pada ujung daun. Genus yang paling sering ditemukan adalah Nitzschia. Kelimpahan perifiton pada lamun jenis E. acoroides dan T. hemprichii secara berturut – turut sebanyak 2689,33 individu/cm2 dan 3158,67 individu/cm2. Kelimpahan perifiton semakin meningkat ketika mendekati bagian ujung daun. ABSTRACT: Periphyton is one of the organism that contributes greatly in increasing primary productivity on seagrass ecosystems. Seagrass conditions greatly determine the presence of periphyton, so when a good seagrass conditions, it is a suitable place for periphyton attachment. Anthropogenic activity will cause disturbance and damage to seagrass, which affects the attachment of periphyton on seagrass. Teluk Awur waters are close to anthropogenic activities which can cause interference with the conditions of the surrounding environment.This study aims to determine the type and abundance of periphyton that lives on the types of seagrass leaves Enhalus acoroides and Thalassia hemprichii, as well as periphyton abundance in each part of the leaf (base, middle and tip).Sampling of seagrass leaves was carried out on November 2018 in Teluk Awur, Jepara Regency.

<strong>Carbon Stock Estimation in Seagrass Biomass on Semak Daun Island, Thousand Islands</strong>. Seagrass ecosystem has a vital role in protecting the coastal ecosystem. It can also sequester and store carbon as an organic material (blue carbon) for a long time. However, anthropogenic activities in coastal areas give environmental stress on the seagrass ecosystem. This research was conducted to assess the carbon stock of seagrass biomass in Semak Daun Island in order to evaluate the potential of the seagrass meadows in sequestering carbon. Sampling and observation were held in the seagrass ecosystem to obtain seagrass density, biomass, frequency of occurrence, water quality, and anthropogenic activity. Carbon stock was calculated by the loss of ignition (LOI) method, and combined with density to determine the total carbon stock in the whole area of seagrass meadows. Seagrass species in Semak Daun Island consist of Halophila ovalis, Thalassia hemprichii, Cymodocea rotundata, Syringodium isoetifolium, and Halodule uninervis. The coverage area of seagrass in Semak Daun Island was 9.1 ha with carbon stock value of 1.84 ton C or equivalent to 6.76 ton CO2. Fifty two percent of the carbon stock was originated from the below-ground biomass and 48% from the above-ground biomass.

Background. Metagenomics studies have reported on the complexity of microbiomes associated with seagrass and can provide critical insights into the sustainable use and conservation of seagrasses. Recent conservation activities in Kenya focused mainly on coral reefs and mangrove forests with little direct action taken to conserve seagrass meadows. Pollution, over-exploitation of marine resources and minimal efforts towards enforcement of conservation laws of marine environments, have caused degradation and defoliation of seagrass habitats. Little is known about the microbes associated with seagrass species in Kenya and this study aimed to characterize the genetic diversity of the microbiomes of two prominent seagrass species, Enhalus acoroides and Thallasodendron ciliatum, which are the most commonly occurring species. Methods. Replicate microbiome samples were collected from leaves, roots, sediment and water columns associated with the two seagrass species from two sites on the Kenyan coast. The microbial communities of the samples were characterized and compared using 16S ribosomal RNA gene PCR and sequencing. Microbiome features including diversity and taxonomic composition were used to compare within and between sample types and sites. Results. Leaf samples from both E. acoroides and T. ciliatum had significantly different microbial communities comparted to root and sediment samples, revealing a diversity gradient with lowest diversity in water samples and highest in sediment. There were no significant variation in seagrass microbial composition associated with leaf and rhizosphere microbiomes of either E. acoroides or T. ciliatum. However, we did see a difference between water samples associated with each seagrass species. Discussion. This study of the microbiomes associated with the sediments, roots, leaves and surrounding water of E. acoroides and T. ciliatum, included a limited number of samples from a small geographic area, providing a valuable first assessment of the microbial diversity of seagrass beds on the Kenyan coast. We found no significant differences between the plant-associated bacterial communities of the two-seagrass species investigated. Significant differences however, were observed amongst leaf-, root-, sediment- and water-associated bacterial communities. This work will contribute to understanding the dynamic environment of seagrass beds and will contribute to helping conserving and re-establishing seagrass beds degraded by due to anthropogenic activities.

Seagrass communities play an important role in marine environments and estuary area, supporting communities of fish, snails and shellfish and other invertebrates. The diversity of seagrass species in the world is very low (<60 species). The coastal waters of Ori Village have a seagrass community that has never been studied. The purpose of this study was to estimate the structure of the seagrass community in the coastal waters of Ori Village, Central Maluku which includes the composition of type, density, frequency of occurence and percent of coverage. Seagrass sampling uses the line transect method. Five species of seagrass were found during the study grouped into two families: Cymodoceaceae and Hydrocharitaceae. The seagrass species found were Cymodocea rotundata, Halodule pinifolia, Enhalus acoroides Halophila ovalis and Thalassia hemprichii. T. hemprichii and E. acoroides have the highest densities (157 shoots/m2 and 137 shoots/m2, respectively). E. acoroides and T. hemprichii also have the highest frequency of occurence and relative coverage percent compared to other seagrass species found in the waters of Ori Village. Seagrass community in the waters of Ori Village is classified in a tight condition until dense.   ABSTRAK Komunitas lamun memegang peranan penting di lingkungan laut dan daerah estuari, menyokong komunitas ikan, siput dan kerang-kerangan serta invertebrata lainnya.

Abstract. Stevanus, Pharmawati M. 2021. Biodiversity and phylogenetic analyses using DNA barcoding rbcL gene of seagrass from Sekotong, West Lombok, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 50-57. West Lombok, Indonesia is one of the locations that is thought to have a quite high diversity of seagrass. Information on the diversity of seagrass species is important due to the important value of seagrass in the marine ecosystem. This research aimed to analyze biodiversity and phylogenetic of seagrass from Sekotong, West Lombok, Indonesia using DNA barcoding of rbcL gene. As many as 35 samples from seven morphologically identified species (Enhalus acoroides, Thalassia hemprichii, Cymodocea rotundata, Syringodium isoetifolium, Halodule pinifolia, Halophila ovalis, and H. minor) were taken from four Gilis (small island) in Sekotong. The DNA was amplified for the rbcL gene and sequence analyses using BLAST were conducted to determine the species. Phylogenetic analyses were carried out using three evolutionary algorithms using Neighbor-Joining, Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian analysis with 1000 bootstrap. The rbcL gene was successfully amplified from all samples with a maximum length of 552 bp. The phylogenetic analysis showed that clades were split by family and genera where six clades were formed (Enhalus acoroides, T. hemprichii, Halophila complex, H. pinifolia, S. isoetifolium, and C. rotundata) with more than 95% of bootstrap values for Neighbor-Joining and Bayesian. The p-distance values between species were 0.008-0.097 and the polymorphic site was not found within species. The rbcL sequences only confirmed five seagrass species out of seven morphologically identified species and the sequences generated from this study cannot discriminate Halophila ovalis and H. minor.
