ABSTRACT
Bacterial communities collaborating with seaweed play an important role in many aspects, especially
in the production of secondary metabolites that help ecosystem function and have good prospects for pharmacological
utilization. The objective of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity of associated bacteria
isolated from seaweed in Awur Bay, Jepara, Indonesia. The antibacterial test uses the pathogenic
bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Micrococcus luteus. Isolation of
seaweed-associated bacteria obtained 4 potential isolates, which were closely related to Vibrionaceae
bacterium PH25 (99.86%), Vibrio alginolyticus strain GS MYPK1 (99.65%), Salinivibrio costicola
strain M318 (99.86%), and Vibrio alginolyticus strain 2014V-1011 (99.93%). In disc diffusion, MIC,
and MBC tests, four isolates showed potential antibacterial activity. TLC identified groups of compounds
that were reported to have antibacterial activity, such as alkaloids, terpenoids, steroids, and flavonoids. Compounds
that were reported to have antibacterial properties were identified from GCMS, one of which was
the compound azulane (CAS).
