"A small collection of majoid spider crabs of the genus Paratymolus Miers, 1879, s.l from Lombok Island, Indonesia contains four species namely P.hastatus Alcock (1895), P.coccus Loh & Ng (1999), P.cygnus Loh & Ng (1999), and Litosus sexspinosus (Miers,1884). Except for L. spinosus, the three other species are new records for indonesia. Paratymolus coccus is previously known from only female specimens, and the presence of male specimens in the collection studied provides the oppurtunity to complete the description of male characters. Paratymolus hastatus is reported for the first time outside Indian Ocean and P.cygnus is recorded for the first time after its description."

"ABSTRACTIndonesia is particularly rich in Echinoderms and North Sulawesi lies at the geographic centre of this biodiverse marine realm. While further studies on Sulawesi Echinodermata are required in order to obtain full understanding of current biodiversity status, preliminary SCUBA and intertidal surveys in early 2012 in the vicinity of the Lembeh Island, a region little explored previously, recorded a total of 76 species of 4 classes (Asteroidea, Ophiuroidea, Echinoidea and Holothuroidea) from shallow waters (0-40 m) at 36 sites (sea grass, coral rubble and reef). The class Crinoidea is not reported here. A review of Echinoderm literature for North Sulawesi noted that there are 114 species belonging to 5 classes of Echinodermata."

"ABSTRACTSeveral harbours in North Jakarta have been polluted by spills of oil and their derivates. We suggest that diversespecies of crude oil and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria inhabit these harbours. An experimentwas undertaken in 2007 to isolate crude oil and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-degrading bacteria fromoil-polluted harbours, such as Muara Baru, Sunda Kelapa and Tanjung Priok. Sea water and sediment sampleswere collected twice, in March and April. Crude oil and PAH-degrading bacteria were isolated from enrichmentculture of samples in an enrichment medium (SWP), using ONR7a medium with the addition of 5 types of PAHgases or Arabian Light Crude Oil 210 (ALCO 210) onto medium. This study reported that fluoranthene and crudeoil-degrading bacteria were the major bacteria isolated from the three polluted harbours. In total, 109 isolates havebeen collected which can degrade crude oil (29% of total isolates), fluoranthene (33%), fluorene (20%), pyrene (7%),dibenzothiopene (6%), and phenantrene (5 %). Cultivable bacteria have been isolated mostly from the Sunda Kelapasamples, with fewer in those from Muara Baru and Tanjung Priok, respectively. Among these isolates, 5 isolateshave the capability to degrade 5 types of PAH and ALCO 210. They were Alcanivorax sp. B-1084, Pseudomonassp. D5-38b, Alcanivorax sp. TE-9, Bacillus sp. L41, Alcanivorax dieselolei strain B-5 clone 1. "
