Gracilaria sp., sejenis alga merah, diketahui memiliki kandungan metabolit sekunder yang berpotensi sebagai agen antibakteri, khususnya terhadap Escherichia coli. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan potensi antibakteri ekstrak metanol Gracilaria sp. terhadap E. coli menggunakan metode jenis eksperimental dengan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan analisis data One-Way ANOVA dan dilanjutkan dengan Uji Tukey. Larutan stok ekstrak dibuat dengan konsentrasi 100 mg/mL dan diuji pada konsentrasi 0,05%, 1%, 5%, dan 10% dengan kontrol positif ciprofloxacin dan kontrol negatif akuades steril. Pengujian dilakukan dalam tiga kali pengulangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak metanol Gracilaria sp. menghasilkan zona hambat yang terbentuk pada konsentrasi tertinggi 10% dan 5% dengan rata- rata hanya mencapai (0,075 mm). Dengan demikian, ekstrak metanol Gracilaria sp. memiliki potensi antibakteri yang lemah terhadap Escherichia coli, karena zona hambat yang terbentuk jauh lebih kecil dibandingkan kontrol positif yang mencapai 1,7 mm. Kata kunci: Gracilaria sp., antibakteri, Escherichia coli, difusi cakram, ekstrak metanol. The use of marine resources as an alternative source of natural antibacterial agents has been increasingly developed in recent years. Gracilaria sp., a type of red algae, is known to contain biologically active compounds that have potential as antibacterial agents, particularly against Escherichia coli. This study aimed to determine the antibacterial potential of the methanolic extract of Gracilaria sp. against E. coli using an experimental method based on a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Data were analyzed using One-Way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test. A stock solution of the extract was prepared at a concentration of 100 mg/mL and tested at concentrations of 0.05%, 1%, 5%, and 10%, with ciprofloxacin as the positive control and sterile distilled water as the negative control. The test was conducted in three replicates. The results showed that the methanolic extract of Gracilaria sp. produced an inhibition zone at the highest concentrations (10% and 5%) with an average diameter of only 0.075 mm. Therefore, the methanolic extract of Gracilaria sp. has weak antibacterial potential against Escherichia coli, as the inhibition zone formed is significantly smaller than that of the positive control, which reached 1.7 mm.
