Specific Growth Rate of Chlorella sp. And Dunaliella sp. According to Different Concentration of Nutrient and Photoperiod

Light and nutrient are factors that support the microalgae growth rate besides COB2B, temperature, and salinity. Microalgae growth of Chorella sp. and Dunaliella sp. were observed to determine the influences of different nutrient concentration and photo period. Microalgae cultivation was located at laboratory using 100 mL Erlenmeyer. The specific growth rate of microalgae was observed for different nutrient concentration and photo period of light treatments. Using Guillard/f2 nutrient, the highest specific growth rate for Chorella sp. was 0.227/d and 0.289/d for Dunaliella sp. The highest microalgae specific growth rate influenced different photo period was 0.39/d and 0.329/d, respectively. Finally, the highest specific growth rate for both cultivated species of microalgae was observed at 2V nutrient concentration and 24 hour period of light treatment.Keywords : Spesific growth rate, photoperiod, nutrient, Chlorella sp., Dunaliella sp

Seagrass is one of productive and economical marine ecosystem, but recently there are indications that this area is decreasing and every kind of damage is happening. The research was conducted to reveal the change of seagrass width area and to determine the suitable location for donor and acceptor of seagrass transplantation. Methods of research were collecting and analyzing the satellite image of the research location, bathymetri mapping and water quality parameter, and also determining environment charasteristics that suitable to be performed by counting Seagrass Transplantation Suitability Index (STSI). The results show that in year 1999-2004, the derivation area of seagrass was 678.300 m2. Pari island has depth range between 0-50 metres and the physics and chemical parameter of water have a good range where the seagrass can live. According to the analysis result of STSI, suitable areas for seagrass transplantation donor is station no. 5 and 6 for seagrass species of Enhalus acoroides and station no. 2 and 7 for seagrass species Thalassia hemprichii. The implication of this research is that the seagrass needs rehabilitation to overcome seagrass ecosystem for better condition

Building the Capacity and Knowledge about Coral Rehabilitation of Tour Guides in Lemukutan Island

The coral reef ecosystem is one of the marine tourism attractions on Lemukutan Island, West Kalimantan. However, currently, some locations are in a relatively degraded condition, which should be addressed. One solution to this problem is coral transplantation activities involving tour guides. As part of the effort to rehabilitate the coral reef habitats, the Aquatic Resource Management Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Nahdlatul Ulama University, West Kalimantan, conducted community development activities to increase the capacity and knowledge of tour guides regarding coral reef ecosystems and coral transplantation techniques. This training was attended by fifteen tour guides from the Lemukutan Guide Group and ARTUNA (Anak Remaja Teluk Cina) Group. The participants were previously trained under PT Pertamina (Persero) and Yayasan Jejak Pesisir Nusantara. This training was carried out in three stages: (i) materials presentation and discussions, (ii) direct practice on the field, and (iii) evaluation. The post-test results showed that the training had increased participants' understanding of coral reef ecosystems and coral transplantation techniques by 40,00% and 33,33%, respectively

High utilization of fossil fuel increases the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and results in global warming phenomenon. These things establish the world’s thought to look for the other alternative energy that can reduce the use of fossil fuel even to be replaced by the substitute. Recently, Indonesia has been doing the research of microalgae as a feedstock of an alternative biofuel. Fatty acid content that microalgae have is also high to produce biofuel. The steps used in this research is a 7 days cultivation, harvesting, extraction using hexane, and fatty acid identification using Gas Chromatography of microalgae species. Fatty acid component in some species such as Chlorella sp., Scenedesmus sp., Nannochloropsis sp., and Isochrysis sp. is between 0.21-29.5%; 0.11-25.16%; 0.30-42.32%; 2.06-37.63%, respectively, based on dry weight calculation. The high content of fatty acid in some species of microalgae showed the potential to be the feedstock of producing biofuel in overcoming the limited utilization from petroleum (fossil fuel) presently.

Laju Pertumbuhan Spesifik dan Kandungan Asam Lemak pada Mikroalga Spirulina platensis, Isochrysis sp. dan Porphyridium cruentum (Specific Growth Rate and Fatty Acid Content of Microalgae Spirulina platensis, Isochrysis sp. and Porphyridium cruentum)

Mikroalga merupakan pabrik sel yang mampu mengkonversi karbondioksida menjadi biofuel potensial, makanan serta bioaktif yang bernilai tinggi dengan bantuan sinar matahari. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis laju pertumbuhan spesifik dan kandungan asam lemak 3 jenis mikroalga yaitu S. platensis, Isochrysis sp., P. cruentum. Kultivasi mikroalga murni dilakukan di laboratorium selama 8 hari dengan media Guillard/F2. Proses ekstraksi dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode sokletasi serta pelarut n-heksan. Profil dan kandungan asam lemak mikroalga dilakukan dengan menggunakan kromatografi gas spektrofotometri massa (GC-MS). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kepadatan mikroalga tertinggi terdapat pada hari ke-8. Laju pertumbuhan spesifik tertinggi terdapat pada P. cruentum, yaitu 0,37/hari. Spesies mikroalga yang memiliki total konsentrasi asam lemak paling tinggi adalah Isochrysis sp., (96,18%) dan yang terrendah adalah P. cruentum (34,73%). P. cruentum memiliki kadar MUFA tertinggi.
