Potensi Bakteri Fotosintetik Laut Dan Ekstrak Biopigmen Sebagai Agen Antimikroba
This research aimed to evaluate the potential of marine photosynthetic bacteria (MPB) and their biopigment extracts as antimicrobial agents against two major aquatic pathogens, namely Aeromonas hydrophila and Staphylococcus aureus. Six MPB isolates were cultured and incubated to produce biopigments. Biopigments are natural pigments from microorganisms that may have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. The pigment extraction process was carried out using acetone and ether solvents, followed by evaporation to produce pigment concentrate. Antimicrobial activity test was conducted using disc diffusion method on Mueller Hinton Agar (MHA) media. The results showed that the MPB suspension showed no inhibition zone against both pathogens, while the biopigment extract showed weak antimicrobial activity with an inhibition zone diameter of 1-4 mm. Although still classified as weak based on CLSI standards, the potential of biopigments as natural bioactive compounds still opens opportunities for further applications
