Fungi are a diverse group of microorganisms that play many roles in human livelihoods. However, the isolation of potential fungal species is the key factor to their utilization in different sectors, including the enzyme industry. Hence, in this study, we used two different fungal repositories—soil and weed leaves—to isolate filamentous fungi and evaluate their potential to produce the cellulase enzyme. The fungal strains were isolated using dichloran rose bengal agar (DRBA) and potato dextrose agar (PDA). For cellulase enzyme production, a rice straw submerged fermentation process was used. The enzyme production was carried out at the different incubation times of 3, 5, and 7 days of culture in submerged conditions with rice straw. Fungal identification studies by morphological and molecular methods showed that the soil colonies matched with Trichoderma reesei, and the weed leaf colonies matched with Aspergillus awamori. These species were coded as T. reesei UMK04 and A. awamori UMK02, respectively. This is the first report of A. awamori UMK02 isolation in Malaysian agriculture. The results of cellulase production using the two fungi incorporated with rice straw submerged fermentation showed that T. reesei produced a higher amount of cellulase at Day 5 (27.04 U/mg of dry weight) as compared with A. awamori (15.19 U/mg of dry weight), and the concentration was significantly different (p < 0.05). Our results imply that T. reesei can be utilized for cellulase production using rice straw.

Rice straw is one of very abundant waste of agricultural and has not utilized maximally. This waste contain cellulose and potential in the manufacture of cellulase enzymes. Research on the production of cellulase enzyme from lignocellulose has been done a lot of enzyme activity is still low. This research using cellulose is 71.95% and conducted with 6 stages. First, the preparation of raw material. Second, the decrease of lignin content with alkali pretreatment. Third, the breeding of fungi Aspergillus niger ITBCC L74 . Fourth, incubation in the inoculum. Fifth, the production of cellulase enzyme by solid fermentation method. Finally, the analysis includes protein content, enzyme activity, enzyme characterization and kinetics of enzymatic reactions. The highest enzyme activity of this study is 3.12 U/ml and protein content is 0.34 mg/ml with fermentation time is 4 day and water content is 75%. In enzyme characterization obtained optimum pH and temperature are 4 and 60°C, respectively. And obtained paramatic kinetic are Vmax and Km for 40, 50, 60 and 70°C temperature are Vmax: 6.42; 4.7; 5.82 and 4.46 U/ml and Km : 1.32; 0.38; 0.32; and 0.12%, respectively.

Abstract A microorganism capable of degrading cellulose present in rice straw was isolated from wastewater samples and identified as Aspergilus niger MT809753 by 18S rDNA. In the present study various cheap agronomic cellulosic wastes as (cotton seed husks, barley straw, rice straw and maize straw) were utilized as crude inducers for the cellulase enzyme production and represent the carbon source for isolates where cellulose activity was measured by (DNS) method. The highest cellulases enzyme production was obtained by fungal isolate Aspergilus niger MT809753 within 24 hours (0.532 IU/ml) using rice straw. Plackett-Burman design was used as conventional method for statistically screening of different variables. Nine variables of the production process were selected. The results illustrate those seven variables, namely as (inoculum size, substrate concentration, incubation temperature, pH, shaking conditions, and incubation time and peptone concentration) had influence with high confidence levels, while the remaining two variables did not show a significant effect on cellulase production. After using response optimization the experiment was performed and the obtained cellulase production was 1.08 IU/ml. A bench scale study was performed to examine paper industry wastewater treatment efficiency by Aspergillus Niger MT809753. Results reveal that organisms have proved their bioremediation potency in treatment of paper industry effluent. The importance of the research stems from the fact that it sheds light on the role of some fungi in the production of the cellulase enzyme. So our goal is to obtain local isolates from fungi having a high ability to produce the cellulase enzyme, as well as developing an effective treatment processes to get rid of environmental cellulosic pollution and utilization of cellulosic wastes as cheap carbon sources.
