Isolation And Identification Of cellulose Degrading Microorganism From Sawdust In Umuahia, Abia State, Nigeria
ABSTRACT
The isolation and identification of cellulose degrading
microorganism from sawdust in Umuahia Ahia State was carried out. The media
used in were nutrient agar, for total aerobic plate count, Sabouraud dextrose
agar for fungal count, MacConkey agar for coliform count and cellulolytic
medium for cellulolytic count. The pour plate technique was employed. Colonial
Morphology, Gram staining and biochemical tests were used for the
identification of the microorganisms.The microbial count ranged as follows,
Total aerobic plate count,4.8x10cfu/g - 2.31x10'cfu/g; Coliform
count,1.9x10cfu/g - 7.8x10cfu/g; Fungal count, 2.7x10cfu/g -4.5x10° and
cellulolytic count, 2.5x10cfu/g4.5x10cfu/g. The bacteria isolated were
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus species, Klebsie//a species, Escherichia coli,
Micrococcus species, Staphylococcus aureus and Cellulomonas species while the
fungi isolated were Penicillium species, Aspergillus species, Mucor species,
Fusarium species and Rhizopus species. It shows that sawdust is contaminated
