Abstract: The people’s gold mining in West Lombok district, especially in the Sekotong sub-district, reached 1497 glondong units and 570 (38%) was disposed into the river. If the situation continued, problems would arise in the environment. This study aimed to determine the microorganisms found in gold mining waters. Purposive sampling was used to collect the samples, taking into account the location of the gold processing operations in the Pelangan village, Sekotong sub-district, and West Lombok district. The procedure consisted of sampling, isolation and identification of bacteria. The results of found that based on observational data on macroscopic and biochemical characteristics, the 1st bacterial isolate was identified as Moraxella sp. 64.70%, and the second isolate of bacteria was identified as Pediococcus spp. 81.25% and the 3rd bacterial isolate was identified as Moraxella sp. 92.13%. It concluded that bacteria was found in the gold mining location of Pelangan village, Sekotong sub-district, West Lombok district were Moraxella sp., and Pediococcus spp.
