1. Introduction Today the scarcity of fuel oil sourced from fossil is increasing. This is because fossil fuel is a resource that is not renewable, also coupled with the high demand for the fossil fuel of which is the energy source for many manufacturers in public life. The high use of fuel derived from fossils in Indonesia is still very high, causing Indonesia still relies heavily on fossil fuels. According to Pertamina’s data, national fuel consumption during 2000 to 2011 was about 312 to 364 m oil barrel equivalent and increased every year. Most of the fuel consumption is used for the transportation sector. This is exacerbated by an increase in the number of vehicles from year to year. The fossil fuels produce more pollution, so it is not environmentally friendly [1]. Increase of the energy needs must be balanced with long-term sustainable supply of renewable energy [2]. Also, the increasing levels of environmental pollution that comes from burning fossil fuels cause renewable fuel that environmentally friendly are urgently needed. One of the renewable energy is energy that derived from biomass. Biomass energy sources derived from plants, agricultural and forestry waste [3] or from farm waste and domestic waste [4]. One kind of the utilization of biomass energy is the conversion of biomass [5]. The biomass conversion results could be biogas, bioethanol or charcoal, etc. There is also biofuel resulted from biomass conversion results [6]. Bioethanol also be a new potential options for use in industrial waste and agricultural waste and biomass energy are successfully converted [7,8]. Bioethanol itself is a result of the conversion of renewable biomass, in addition to the production that involves a lot of agricultural waste and industrial waste [9]. Production of bioethanol and other biomass-based energy also utilize plant cell wall as a biomass source [5]. The human ability to convert [10] is very dependent on the complexity of the existing system of one enzyme cellulase enzyme class [3]. Cellulase enzyme production took a total cost of 40 % from the bioethanol synthesis process [11]. To reduce the cost of production, one of the solutions is to use an enzyme [9]. The crude enzyme can be obtained from microorganisme [3] one of which is a type of filamentous fungi of the genus Trichoderma [12,3]. Fungi of the genus Trichoderma are known to degrade plant cell walls with cellulase enzymes [13]. Cellulase enzyme itself is an inducible-type enzyme to be produced by microorganisms during the process of development of the cellulosic material in the living microorganisms, including Trichoderma to hydrolyze lignocellulosic [13,11] Based on the description above, cellulase has an important role in the bioconversion of cellulose to glucose as material for ethanol production, so it requires optimization for the production of raw cellulases from fungus Trichoderma reeesei. Treatment was conducted by fermentation process for 5 d, 7 d, and 9 d, at temperature 27 °C and 37 °C which is expected to generate an optimal raw cellulase enzyme that can be used to convert the lignocelluloses materials to glucose. This study was conducted to determine the optimum combination of fermentation time and temperature for producing raw cellulase enzymes with high activity of fungus Trichoderma reesei. 2. Material and method 2.1. Strains, culture media and chemicals Microbial fungi strain which was used is Trichoderma reesei FNCC 6012. Strain was obtained from Microbiology Laboratorium of PAU, Food and Nutrition Division, Gadjah Mada University. Medium for maintenance and rejuvenation of culture medium was Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA). The substrate is dried straw. Chemicals used were: (NH4) 2SO4 (Merck), KH2PO4 (Merck), Urea, CaCl2, MgSO4.7H2O, FeSO4.7H2O, MnSO4, ZnSO4.7H2O, Peptone (Merck), Bovin Serum Albumin (BSA) (Merck), H2SO4 (Merck), NaH2PO4 (Merck), MgCl2 (Merck), Dinitrosalicylic Acid (DNS), citrate buffer, HCl and distilled water. Substrate in the form of straw was weighed and dried under sunlight till the water content around 10 %. The straw was cut into small pieces with a size of 1 cm. 2.2. The design of experiments The research experimental design was arranged in a completely randomized factorial design consisting of two factors. The first factor was the temperature of fermentation storage which was 27 oC and 37 oC. The second factor was the length of fermentation consists of three levels, namely 5 d, 7 d, and 9 d. Data obtained from each treatment were analyzed by analysis of variance, if the treatment significantly affected the observed parameters then followed by Duncan's test.

2.3. Preparation of Trichoderma reseei culture The culture was prepared by inoculating fungi that had been rejuvenated (from the stock culture) into the agar plate medium (PDA) which has been prepared in advance. Pure culture of Trichoderma reesei spores was grown in the agar plate media (1 loop). The pure cultures were incubated at 25 oC to 27 oC for 7 d. 2.4. Production and testing of cellulase enzyme activity Trichoderma reesei pure culture was grown on agar plate media and then incubated for 7 d. Sterile distilled water (10 mL) was added to the Trichoderma reesei cultures in agar plate, then it was shaked so that the spores released into the liquid phase. Two grams of dry straw substrate was included in the 50 mL erlenmeyer. The mineral nutrient solution contained of 1.4 g . L̽ 1 (NH4)2.SO4; 2 g . L̢1 KH2PO; 0.3 g . L̢1 urea; 0.3 g . L̢1 CaCl2; 0.6 g . L̢1 MgSO4.7H2O; 0.009 g . L̢1 FeSO4.7H2O; ̢ ̢ ̢ 1.4 g . L 1 MnSO4; 0.001 4 g . L 1 ZnSO4.7H2O; 0.75 g . L 1 Pepton. Medium that already contain nutrient and mineral solution was added to 50 mL of distilled water, and then the pH was arranged to pH 4. It was covered with cotton, sterilized at 121 oC for 15 min in an autoclave. Spore suspension of Trichoderma reesei were added to the fermentation medium at concentration of 10 % (w.v̢1) then fermented [14]. Harvesting was conducted at the end of fermentation at 5 d, 7 d and 9 d. The results of fermentation in erlenmeyer was stirred and shaken and filtered with a filter paper. The filtrate was centrifuged at room temperature and extracted supernatant (rough cellulose) were ready to be analyzed. In this study the observed parameters included: evaluation of cellulase activity (filter paperase) [15] and soluble protein analysis by Lowry method [16]. 3. Results and discussion 3.1. Cellulase activity (filter paperase) Testing of filter paperase activity can reflect the general cellulase activity because the substrate used for testing was Whatman filter paper no. 1 (crystal fibers properties) that involves the activity of C1 which acts as an activator of crystalline cellulose into reactive cellulose [17]. Based on the analysis of variance, it showed that the interaction of treatment and the concentration of bagasse fermentation time was highly significant (p < 0.01) on cellulase activity. The average value of cellulase activity can be seen in Table 1. Table 1.

3.2. Soluble protein Based on the analysis of variance, it showed that the interaction of substrate concentration and fermentation time was significantly affect (p < 0.05) to the soluble protein content. The average value of soluble protein can be seen in Table 2. Table 2. The average value of soluble protein content (mg protein/filtrate) (mg . mL-1 filtrate) Fermentation time Temperature of incubation (OC) (d) 27 5 0.009 67 d 7 0.011 55 d 9 0.021 61 a Note: the same letters on the average value showed no significant difference (P > 0.05)

Tables 1 and Table 2 showed that the value of cellulase activity and the average value of the highest soluble protein was 0.041 1 unitg mL-1 and 0.021 61 mggmL-1, which was obtained with 9 d of fermenation at temperature of 27 oC. This is due to the fact that the longer the fermentation time, the higher substrate hydrolysis, thus the protein levels also increased so that cellulase production was also increasing. The lowest cellulase activity was 0.032 7 unitg mL-1 which was obtained from 9 d of fermentation at temperature of 37 oC. The lowest average value of soluble protein was 0.009 67 mggmL-1 with 5 d of fermentation at temperature 27 oC. 4. Conclusion The results showed that room temperature storage and fermentation time significantly affect the observed parameters on cellulase production by raw Trichoderma reesei. The best combination treatment to produce raw cellulase enzyme with optimal
