Abstract: MOJICA, FRANZES KAMYLLE L., ROMERA, KURT CLYDE V. Decomposition Process of Paper Waste by Fungi from Cow Dung. Research Study (General Science Curriculum). Science High School, College of Education, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2016. Adviser: Prof. Dulce L. Ramos. The study entitled “Decomposition Process of Paper Waste by Fungi from Cow Dung” was conducted at the Biological Science Department Laboratory, College of Arts and Sciences, Cavite State University in Indang, Cavite. The study was conducted to hydrolyze cellulose and decompose paper waste by fungi isolated from cow dung. Specifically, this study aimed to: (1) identify the morphological characteristics of fungi from cow dung samples; (2) determine the average weight loss of paper waste; and (3) determine which treatment gave the best result on the decomposition of paper waste. Cow dung samples were collected from a vacant lot in Brgy. Poblacion Cuatro, Indang, Cavite. The sample was stored in a zip lock container and prepared for isolation. The fungi was identified macroscopically from the fungal growth in the PDA plate. Congo red was used to exhibit the clearance zone which indicated the ability of the fungi to hydrolyze cellulose. One week old fungi isolate was inoculated in a jar with paper waste samples for one month. The highest decomposition rate which was 45% was observed from treatment with 100% paper waste sample not disinfected before inoculating fungi, followed by 38.5% observed from treatments with 100% disinfected paper waste inoculated with fungi and 50% paper and 50% cardboard not disinfected before inoculating fungi. On the other hand, treatments not inoculated with fungi did not show any sign of decomposition.
