ABSTRAK Penelitian tentang Jenis-jenis bakteri yang berasosiasi pada proses dekomposisi serasah daun Avicennia marina (Forsk) vierh setelah aplikasi fungi Aspergillus sp., Curvularia sp., dan Penicillium sp. pada beberapa tingkat salinitas bertujuan untuk mengetahui keanekaragaman jenis bakteri. Penelitian dilakukan di Laboratorium Mikrobiologi Departemen Biologi, FMIPA USU Medan dan di Kawasan Mangrove Sicanang-Belawan dari bulan Desember 2009 sampai bulan Juni 2010. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada 24 jenis bakteri yang berasosiasi pada proses dekomposisi serasah daun Avicennia marina setelah aplikasi fungi pada beberapa tingkat salinitas yaitu Bacillus (3 spesies), Sporosarcina (3 spesies), Planococcus (2 spesies), Micrococcus (2 spesies), Pseudomonas (1 spesies), Escherichia (1 spesies), Mycobacterium (1 spesies), Flavobacterium (1 spesies), Corynebacterium (1 spesies), Caulobacter (1 spesies), Staphylococcus (1 spesies), Klebsiella (1 spesies), Aeromonas (1 spesies), Neisseria (1 spesies), Acinetobacter (1 spesies), Pleisomonas (1 spesies), Brevibacterium (1 spesies) dan Yersinia (1 spesies). Keanekaragaman jenis dan populasi bakteri paling banyak ditemukan pada salinitas 010 ppt dan paling sedikit terdapat pada salinitas 20-30 ppt.

The research had done at Microbiology Laboratory of FMIPA USU Medan and at the mangrove area of Sicanang-Belawan did began at december 2009 until june 2010. The results of the research indicated that totally 24 species of bacteria which asociated on the decomposition process of Avicennia marina leaf Litter After Aplicated fungus in the some salinity level, including Bacillus (3 species), Sporosarcina (3 species), Planococcus (2 species), Micrococcus (2 species), Pseudomonas (1 species), Escherichia (1 species), Mycobacterium (1 species), Flavobacterium (1 species), Corynebacterium (1 species), Caulobacter (1 species), Staphylococcus (1 species), Klebsiella (1 species), Aeromonas (1 species), Neisseria (1 species), Acinetobacter (1 species), Pleisomonas (1 species), Brevibacterium (1 species) dan Yersinia (1 species). The diversity of species and population of bacteria were the highest at 0-10 ppt and the lowest at 20-30 ppt.
