Keberadaan penyakit karang akan menyebabkan kerusakan komunitas dan populasi karang di Indonesia, sementara informasi prevalensi penyakit tersebut masih sedikit terpublikasikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui prevalensi penyakit karang jenis sabuk hitam di Kepulauan Seribu pada enam lokasi di bagian tubir dan 10 lokasi di bagian lereng terumbu yang dilaksanakan pada bulan November 2011. Metode transek sabuk digunakan untuk mendapatkan prevalensi penyakit karang dengan ukuran 1 m ke kiri dan 1 m ke kanan dari garis transek, panjang transek 20 m dan dilakukan tiga ulangan pada setiap lokasi, sehingga total luasan yang teramati adalah 120 m2. Hasil penelitian di bagian tubir berhasil mengamati jumlah koloni sebanyak 4.517, lebih tinggi dibandingkan di lereng terumbu yaitu sebanyak 3.418 koloni. Karang yang dominan ditemukan di lereng terumbu adalah Montipora sp., Acropora sp., dan Porites sp., dengan jumlah koloni berturut-turut yaitu 2.417 koloni, 1.131 koloni, dan 299 koloni, sementara pada lereng terumbu didominasi oleh karang Porites sp., Fungia sp., dan Acropora sp. dengan jumlah koloni berturut-turut yaitu 867 koloni, 596 koloni, dan 496 koloni. Prevalensi penyakit sabuk hitam pada tubir lebih tinggi (12,53%) dibandingkan dengan di lereng terumbu (0,05%), demikian juga dengan faktor penganggu kesehatan karang lebih tinggi di tubir (3,25%) dibandingkan dengan di lereng terumbu (2,68%). Data prevalensi pada penelitian ini merupakan puncak prevalensi (outbreak) dibandingkan dengan data lain yang dilakukan pengamatan selama satu tahun. Prevalensi penyakit sabuk hitam sangat dipengaruhi oleh adanya peningkatan suhu dan intensitas cahaya, sehingga prevalensi di perairan dangkal (tubir) lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan di lereng terumbu.

ABSTRACT Black band disease (BBD) is a virulent polymicrobial disease primarily affecting massive-framework-building species of scleractinian corals. While it has been well established that the BBD bacterial mat is dominated by a cyanobacterium, the quantitative composition of the BBD bacterial mat community has not described previously. Terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis was used to characterize the infectious bacterial community of the bacterial mat causing BBD. These analyses revealed that the bacterial composition of the BBD mat does not vary between different coral species but does vary when different species of cyanobacteria are dominant within the mat. On the basis of the results of a new method developed to identify organisms detected by T-RFLP analysis, our data show that besides the cyanobacterium, five species of the division Firmicutes, two species of the Cytophaga-Flexibacter-Bacteroides (CFB) group, and one species of δ-proteobacteria are also consistently abundant within the infectious mat. Of these dominant taxa, six were consistently detected in healthy corals. However, four of the six were found in much higher numbers in BBD mats than in healthy corals. One species of the CFB group and one species of Firmicutes were not always associated with the bacterial communities present in healthy corals. Of the eight dominant bacteria identified, two species were previously found in clone libraries obtained from BBD samples; however, these were not previously recognized as important. Furthermore, despite having been described as an important component of the pathogenetic mat, a Beggiatoa species was not detected in any of the samples analyzed. These results will permit the dominant BBD bacteria to be targeted for isolation and culturing experiments aimed at deciphering the disease etiology.
