The determination of antibacterial activity was performed by well agar diffusion method against &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus aureus&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Escherichia coli&lt;/em&gt; while the cytotoxic activity was determined by MTT methods on human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) and human colon colorectal carcinoma (HCT-116), followed by determination of the apoptosis mechanism by Annexin V-FTIC assay. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; M. sarasinorum and Axinella&lt;/em&gt; sp showed strong inhibition against S.aureus and E.coli with the diameter of inhibition of 14.21 &amp;plusmn; 0.92 mm and 14.36 &amp;plusmn; 0.92 mm, and 10.01 &amp;plusmn; 2.65 mm and 12.07 &amp;plusmn; 1.54 mm, respectively. Moreover, they also exhibited potent cytotoxicity on HCT-116 with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values of 0.002 and 8.518 &amp;mu;g/mL, respectively. Meanwhile, on MCF-7, only M. sarasinorum showed moderate inhibition with an IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 87.35 &amp;mu;g/mL. Annexin V-FTIC assay clearly showed that the cytotoxic mechanism of &lt;em&gt;M. sarasinorum and Axinella&lt;/em&gt; sp on HCT-116 and MCF-7 was via apoptosis induction. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The sponges of &lt;em&gt;M. Sarasinorum and Axinella&lt;/em&gt; sp are undergoing further analysis to identify the active constituents which could be developed as potential antibacterial and anticancer agents.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">988</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Muhammad Sulaiman Zubair&lt;sup&gt;1*&lt;/sup&gt;, Subehan Lallo&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Masteria Yunovilsa Putra&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, Tri Aryono Hadi&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, Ibrahim Jantan&lt;sup&gt;4 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
