The intestinal bacterial diversity of Stichopus japonicus was investigated using 16S ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) clone library and Polymerase Chain Reaction/Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE). The clone library yielded a total of 188 clones, and these were sequenced and classified into 106 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) with sequence similarity ranging from 88 to 100%. The cov...

Teripang merupakan komoditas perikanan yang saat ini dibudidayakan dan dieksploitasi di perairan Lampung. Namun terdapat kesulitan dalam mengidentifikasi teripang karena kemiripan morfologis antara spesies ada. Identifikasi baik berguna agar proses pembudidayaan konservasi dapat tepat sasaran. Penggunaan DNA barcoding digunakan untuk jenis-jenis ada, jarak genetik, keragaman genetik intra/inter...

Sea cucumber Stichopus monotuberculatus is one species of tropical sea cucumbers with high recognition and economic value. While advances have been made in the nursery rearing cucumber, influence environmental factors on its locomotion behavior remains less understood, which restricts establishment mariculture technologies. In present study, S. under different temperatures flow velocities were ...
