Potensi Isolat Jamur Lokal Riau Dalam Mendegradasi Plastik High Density Polyethylene (Hdpe)
Plastic is nondegradable solid waste that have become the greatest threat for the environment. The use of microorganisms and their enzymes represents the most ecofriendly and effective decontamination approach compared to other methods. Riau local fungi isolate has been successfully tested its ability to degrade LDPE plastic, but its ability to degrade HDPE is not yet known. This study aims to determine the potential of Riau local isolate fungi that are able to degrade High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastics. They were screened from its ability to grow on a medium containing HDPE plastic powder. The biodegradation activity was tested based on the reduction of HDPE plastic film weight on solid and liquid medium for 20, 40, and 60 days. The results showed that 14 isolates were able to grow on a medium containing HDPE powder. Trichoderma PN4, LM-B07, and LL-B07 were represented the largest growth diameter after 14 days of incubation. The optimal incubation time for isolates in degrading HDPE film is 60 days. These isolates have the same ability to degrade HDPE plastics film on 60 days incubation ranging from 10,17-10,64% in solid medium and 7,80-9,46% in liquid medium. The pH value of the solid and liquid biodegradation medium at each incubation period tends to decrease.
Key findings: Biodegradation, fungi, high density polyethylene (HDPE), plastic, Riau local isolate.
