Abstract

Indonesia is very rich in potential for vegetable cultivation. Vegetables contain a lot of vitamins and minerals. Therefore, people prefer to eat vegetables in a fresh state either as salads or fresh vegetables. However, contamination of pathogenic bacteria is much greater both at the farmer and trader levels. Therefore this study aims to determine the feasibility of consumption and identify bacteria in fresh vegetables in the traditional market of Mataram City. Samples in the form of lettuce, cucumber, cabbage, and long beans were taken from Pagesangan, Kebon Roek, Gunung Sari, and Bertais markets, respectively. The existence of bacteria were detected using traditional method by inoculating samples in agar cultures followed by biochemical testing and Gram staining. Species of bacteria that can be identified from samples are Enterobacter cloacae, Bhanhamella catarrhalis, E-coli, Staphylococus sapropyticus, and Aeromonas hydrophila. Based on the data, long beans from the Bertais market and lettuce from the Pagesangan, Kebon Roek, and Gunung Sari markets are not suitable for consumption because the TPC yield exceeds the consumption quality standard of 105-106 CFU/g.

Abstract

Administratively, the coastal area of Central Lombok Regency is included in the mangrove conservation program which is currently in the process of rehabilitation. Shellfish as one of the associated biota that live in the mangrove ecosystem. This study aims to analyze the diversity (H'), uniformity (E), dominance (D), and abundance (R) of associated biota in the mangrove ecosystem conservation area on the south coast of Central Lombok Regency. Data analysis consisted of determining sampling stations, processing mangrove vegetation data, processing bivalve data, and environmental parameters. The results showed that there were nine types of mangroves, 15 types of bivalves were found. The highest density of mangroves in Dondon was Avicennia marina (84.16%) and the highest relative frequency of mangrove species (66.67%). The lowest mangrove density in Gili Perigi was Rhizophora stylosa (3.1%) and the lowest relative species frequency (6.67%). Furthermore, the highest relative frequency in Tanjung Batutiang is Avicennia marina (30.00%) and the lowest is Avicennia lanata (3.33). While the highest relative frequency in Gili Perigi was Avicennia marina (50.00%) and the lowest was Rhizopora stylosa (6.67%). The highest value of the dominance index on the Dondon Coast was 0.84 and was classified as low, meaning that no species dominated. In conclusion, the Indonesian government has initiated many mangrove Rehabilitation programs through replanting, especially on Lombok Island. This study shows that members of the genus Avicennia marina have the potential to increase the growth and stability of mangrove ecosystems on the south coast of Central Lombok.
