BIOSINTESIS SELULOSA OLEH Acetobacter xylinum MENGGUNAKAN LIMBAH CAIR TAHU SEBAGAI MEDIA PERTUMBUHAN DENGAN PENAMBAHAN MOLASE
ABSTRACT: Cellulose is a
biopolymer whose numbers most abundant
in nature and have an important role as various kinds of industrial raw
materials. In this study, liquid waste
of soy used as a growth medium for A.
xylinum bacteria to synthesize cellulose with
addition of molasses as carbon source. The aim of this research was to
know the effect of different concentrations of molasses on cellulose layer
weight and which is the best concentration of molasses that produce the highest
weight of cellulose. Three concentration
of molasses were tested, namely 2%, 4% and 6%. Observation on layer cellulose
weight produced was performed on day-10 . The study shows that the more
concentrations of molasses is given, the more weight of the layer of cellulose,
although this weight difference was not significant. 6% molasses concentration
produces the most high cellulose weight.
