<title><b>Bioactivity test of compound (Hexa-Tetra Contana) from sponge (<i>Callyspongia pseudoreticulata</i>) AS antibacterial of withered Disease on potato plant (<i>Ralstonia solanacearum</i>)</b></title>
<abstract>Sponge is one of the marine organisms of coral reefs that is able to produce secondary metabolite compounds with varieties of bioactivity and structural variations; one of its biological activities is as an antimicrobial. This study is aiming to test the bioactivity of  lessThan i greaterThan hexa-tetracontane lessThan /i greaterThan  compounds that have been isolated from sponge of  lessThan i greaterThan Callyspongia pseudoreticulata lessThan /i greaterThan . An antibacterial activity test was performed on the  lessThan i greaterThan Ralstonia solanacearum lessThan /i greaterThan  bacteria found in potato by using agar diffusion method with the use of filter paper discs. The result of bioactivity of lessThan i greaterThan  hexa-tetracontane lessThan /i greaterThan  compounds with varied concentrations; 400mg/mL, 500 mg/mL, 600mg/mL with incubation periode of 1 – 7 days, showing that the diameter of the inhibition zone is at the peak of the bacterial growth under the concentration of 400 mg/ml and incubation period of 7 days and the diameter of inhibition zone is  lessThan i greaterThan 21,33 lessThan /i greaterThan  mm with great difference compared to the other concentrations.</abstract>
