Nasution No. 105 Bandung, Indonesia Effort of Increasing Production of Livestock Feed out of Cassava Waste by Identifying the more Suitable Cellulotic Degrading Fungi Abstract In the bioethanol production process, as much as 90% of waste was produced. The availability of waste production is very important since waste can be processed to become livestock feed. The solid bioethanol waste contains cyanide (HCN) 5.8177 mg/kg, water 95,21%, ash 0,39%, protein 8,16%, crude fiber 5,45%, crude fat 2.06%, and carbohydrates 83,94%. Processing bioethanol solid waste into livestock feed can be done by utilizing the existing fungi on bioethanol solid waste. Crude fiber (cellulose) and carbohydrates are a source of cellulolytic fungi. Cellulolytic fungi can degrade the role of organic materials contained in bioethanol solid waste, so that it can be made as a source of highly nutritious livestock feed. This study aims to determine the types of cellulolytic fungal isolates contained in bioethanol solid waste which is potentially processed to become livestock woof. Descriptive analysis was employed as a method of the study. Furthermore, Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) was used as a medium for culturing and isolating the fungus. Dilution series and pour plate method were employed to isolate the fungus. And, Moist Chamber method was employed to identify it. In addition, Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (CMC) was used as medium to identify cellulolytic fungi. The process was carried out up to the level of genus based on macroscopic and microscopic characterization. 10 fungal isolates from the genus of Aspergillus sp 1, Aspergillus sp 2, Aspergillus sp 3, Aspergillus niger, Cladosporium sp, Mucor sp, Penicillium sp 1, Penicillium sp 2, Rhizopus sp and Trichoderma viride were yielded in this study. The results of examining cellulose enzyme activity revealed that 9 of 10 isolates of the fungus were capable of degrading cellulose. Isolates yielding the largest cellulose enzyme were Trichoderma viride, Penicillium sp 1, Cladosporium sp and Aspergillus niger. Keywords: dilution series, cellulolytic fungi, Moist Chamber, bioethanol solid waste, pour plate Introduction Feed is the most important factor in livestock business. The success of livestock business heavily depends on the kind of woof provided. The effort to utilize waste may improve the availability of feed (Agustini, 2010). In general waste quality for feed is very low. An effort to improve treatment of livestock feed, therefore, is required. By doing so, the content of nutrition and livestock productivity will increase. One kind of waste used to livestock woof is bioethanol waste utilized as fibrous woof substance. Bioethanol is one of energy mailto:yan_dikha@yahoo.com Asian Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development, 2(3), pp. 329-336. 330 alternatives using plants as its primary substance and it generally needs fermenting. Bioethanol can be made from cassava. Cassava shares important economic value compared with other kind of tubers. In addition to that, cassava contains high starch which is approximately 25-30% and is suitable for alternative energy (Rikana, Heppy and Adam Risky, 2009). Bioethanol is produced by fermentation which is then proceeding by distillation. This treatment produces waste which is equal to 90% of the fermentation solution. With a large amount of waste, the process of waste treatment becomes intensely important, because it is able to damage environment when it is not handled well (Wira 2011). Bioethanol solid waste can be utilized as livestock woof, but it previously needs to be fermented. Fermentation is undertaken in order to improve nutritious content of woof substance with low quality and omit anti-nutrition material in the form of cyanide (Hidayat 2010). Enzyme is protein produced by any living organisms. In the fermentation industry, enzyme is produced by fungi or bacteria (Uusima 2006). One kind of enzymes is cellulose enabling to crack cellulose chemically. It has been revealed that the enzyme of cellulose is one of the enzymes which play an important role in processing organic waste bioconversion to become glucose, one-cell protein, livestock woof ethanol and so on. In line with the advance of industry, the need to cellulose enzyme is getting more increasing recently. In Indonesia the industry utilizing enzyme grows excessively; however, the need to enzyme is not yet met. The enzyme should be imported from other countries (Soeka, Yati S. and Sastraatmajda Dudi D, 1992). One of the possible solutions is to utilize a cellulolytic microorganism. It can produce cellulose enzyme that enable cellulose, produced from bioethanol, to degrade. Microorganism capable of degrading cellulose is fungi. The bioethanol waste of cassava contains many cellulolytic fungi capable of degrading cellulose. The genus of fungi producing cellulose enzyme, among others, are Aspergillus sp., Bulgaria sp., Chaetomium sp., Helotium sp., Myrothecium sp., Paecilomyces sp., Penicillium sp., Phanerochaeta sp., Poria sp., Rhizopus sp., (Irawan, 2008), Schizophillium sp., Serpua sp., and Trichoderma sp. (Ganjar and Syamsuridzal, 2006). Since fungi capably of degrading cellulose are important, the effort to isolate and identify cellulolytic fungi from bioethanol waste of cassava was carried out through this research. The research is expected to find out cellulose fungus isolate playing a role in processing bioethanol waste of cassava into livestock feed. Material and Procedure Material and Instruments The materials used in this research are bioethanol solid waste, PDA (medium Potatoes Dextrose Agar), CMC (Carboxil Methil Cellulose), sterile water, aquades, physiologic NaCl, vaseline, Kongo red, alcohol 95%, alcohol 70%, and cloramfenicol. Meanwhile, the instrument used in this research are autoclave, microwave, scale hot plate and stirrer, erlenmeyer retort, calibrated beaker, petri dish, reaction retort, spatula, pH universal indicator, thermometer, calibrated pipette, filler pipette (rubber bulb), ose needle, dropper pipette, filter paper, object glass and cover glass, pincers, cotton and muslin, microscope, sliding calipers, bunsen burner, reaction retort shelf, rubber, tissue, aluminum foil, plastic seal, board marker, label sheet, and scissors. Procedure Preparing bioethanol solid waste Bioethanol solid waste that will be used as a microorganism isolate resource is gained by taking the solid waste, which is later, put into the bottle. In this case, the room temperature where the bottles are placed is maintained, so that the microorganism inside of the substance remains alive when it is examined. Fungi Isolation The sample of bioethanol solid waste is weighed as much as 1 gram. Then, it is put into reaction retort containing 9 ml NaCl. Afterward, 1 ml of each diluted material got into petri dish and it is poured PDA medium Effort of Increasing Production of….. 331 (medium of Potatoes Dextrose Agar). Then, it is incubated at room temperature for 72 hours. Fungal Colony Purification The colony with different characteristics is re - isolated and re-inoculated repeatedly so that completely pure culture is produced. Fungi Identification Identifying every colony of fungi microscopically is carried out using a morphological observation. Fungal morphological observation includes color monitoring, colony surface, texture, margin or the edge of colony (Ganjar, et.al., 1999). Meanwhile, to observe microscopic cellulolytic fungal identification is conducted by using moist chamber method. Identifying fungal character is synchronized with its character and morphology based on the identification book. Cellulose Degradation Activity Test Fungal isolate is inoculated on PDA medium and incubated by maintaining temperature for 24 hours. After fungal isolate has grown, medium surface is sprinkled by red kongo indicator. It is then flushed by NaCl and observed by measuring the diameter of transparent zone composed around the colony. Ratio between the diameter of transparent zone and that of fungal colony used to know the extent of cellulolytic fungal ability.
