Abstract

Sclerotium rolfsii is known as one of the pathogenic fungi that causes some diseases in plants. In Indonesia the various studies that have been conducted on the fungus are still limited to prevention and control to reduce its pathogenic aspect. Scleroglucan is a biopolymer produced from Sclerotium rolfsii fermentation and has been used in several industries in various developed countries as both a thickener and emulsifier. In this study scleroglucan was produced from liquid sugar substrate using S.rolfsii InaCC F-05. The use of liquid sugar substrate with varying concentration can increase dry cell weight, yield of scleroglucan and conversion of 73.36%, 3.45% and 3.46% respectively. The acquisition of scleroglucan viscosity was 1.8500 to 2.5713 cP. While low, it can still be applied in chemical industries as a mixture for toothpaste and mouthrinse formulation.
