Cellulase enzyme activity of Penicillium sp. LBKURCC20 Isolate of Riau can beincreased by concentrating the enzyme using 80% saturated solid ammonium sulfate(NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 anhydrous. Precipitated enzyme was redissolved by the addition of acetatebuffer solution pH 5.5 to 1/70 times its original volume. Cellulase enzyme activity wasdetermined using substrates CMC and avicel. CMCase and avicelase enzyme activity ofthe crude enzyme was (0.0164 ± 0.0036) U/mL and (0.003 ± 0.0025) U/mL,respectively. CMCase and avicelase enzyme activity after concentration was (0.219 ±0.0579) U/mL and (0.03 ± 0.03) U/mL, respectively. The test results showed that theactivity of concentrated CMCase increased 13.5 times and avicelase enzyme activityincreased 10 times after concentrating.
