The Capability of Beauveria Bassiana for Cellulase Enzyme Production

Published: 21 January 2017 Publication History

Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the ability of cellulase enzyme production from Beauveria bassiana comparing Trichoderma viride (positive control) in the cellulose-agar medium using carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). The formation of clear zone by chromogenic reaction around the margin of the fungal colony demonstrated in CMC agar using agar diffusion method modified by congo -- red test. Both fungi were performed on cellulose-agar medium for 7 days at room temperature (30±2 °C). The result showed that clear zone number of B. bassiana was 5.0 mm higher than that of T. viride (4.7 mm). It revealed that B. bassiana had ability to release cellulase enzyme for cellulose degradation. Growth assessment of B. bassiana on CMC agar and potato dextrose agar (PDA) was carried out from radial growth and spore concentration after 3 - 15 days post inoculation. The growth of B. bassiana revealed that its radial growth collected from PDA (14.7-31.6 mm d-1) was higher than that of CMC agar (11.5-27.5 mm d-1). Its spore concentration on PDA was 2.4 × 108 spores mL-1 higher than that CMC (0.9 × 108 spores mL-1). Overall, the results of this study showed that B. bassiana had ability to produce cellulolytic enzymes on CMC agar. And its ability of cellulose degradation to be carbon source led to their growth.
