Cellulolytic bacteria is one of the beneficial bacteria that can found in mangrove ecosystem. The purposes of study were to analyse the cellulolytic index, and to analyse the cellulase activity of bacteria isolated from soil mangrove. Qualitatively, assessment of cellulase activity were carried out at the Microbiology laboratory of Fish Quarantine Station, Quality Control and Safety of Fishery Products (SKIPM) Aceh, while quantitatively was observed in microbiology laboratory, Biology Department, IPB. Assessment of qualitative cellulase activity is performed by growing the selected pure isolate on 1% CMC medium then spilled 1% congo red to test its cellulolytic potential. Cellulolytic potential was determined by clear zone performed around the colony after congo red flooded. The quantitative cellulase enzyme activity test carried out by DNS method tested on one selective isolate. There were 21 from 39 isolates showed a clear zone isolated from mangrove soil. The cellulolytic index (CI) obtained ranged from 0.07 to 0.80 classified as low cellulolytic index criteria. The cellulolytic index was higher in bacteria isolated from mangrove rehabilitated than mangrove unrehabilitated. The highest cellulase activity and specific cellulase activity of BTMD32 was at 48 hours with the value were 0.0012 U/ml, 0.077 U/mg, respectively. The result concluded that the bacteria cellulolytic isolated from mangrove soil had low cellulolytic index, low cellulase activity, and low specific cellulase activity.
