Abstract
The indigenous isolates from Riau were known to have pectinolytic activity and thermotolerant, but their cellulase activity is still unknown. This study was aim to test
the cellulase activity of 19 thermotolerant fungal isolates which are indigenous from
Riau. The selection was done by using agar disk method. The determination of
cellulase activity and biomass used a factorial complete randomized design (CRD) that
consisted of two factors i.e. temperature and isolate. The result showed cellulase activity
at 50°C was higher than at room temperature. Aspergillus fumigatus TT had the highest
cellulolytic activity whereas Aspergilus sp.2 had the lowest cellulolytic activity.
Temperature and isolates affected cellulase activity. Penicillium sp. PNE17 at 50°C had
the highest cellulase activity and no significantly difference than Acremonium sp.
PNE10. Temperature and isolates affected the biomass significantly but no interaction.
Penicillium PNE17 had the highest biomass at room temperature (0,835 g/L) and at
50°C (0,330 g/L)
