SELECTION OF ISOLATES OF LOCAL ENDOPHYTIC BACTERIA CELLULOLYTIC STRAINS FROM MANGROVE ROOTS Ceriops tagal (Perr) C. B. Rob

Cellulose agricultural waste is a source of environmental pollution and an alternative solution to overcome it degrade this with the help cellulolytic enzymes. The Biochemistry Laboratory FMIPA Riau University has number endophytic bacterial isolates from roots Mangrove Ceriops tagal (Perr) C. B. Rob in Bengkalis area whose potential produce enzymes not yet known. Qualitative selection carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) solid media 24 bacteria that were able live because they produced enzymes, only 22 isolates. Quantitatively using DNS (Dinitro Salicylic Acid) method, 3 these had relatively higher activity than other isolate C-9 (LBKURCC332) was 572x10-4±0.0069U/mL, C-23(LBKURCC346) 423x10-4±0.0027U/mL C-30 (LBKURCC353) 384x10-4± 0.0003 U/mL statistically activities significantly different
