Figure 5.

Effect of the selected carbon source concentration (0.25 to 2%) on the growth rate and total cellulase activity of the three T. reesei strains (A) QM6a; (B) QM9414 and (C) RUT-C30. T. reesei strains QM6a and RUT-C30 were grown on MA-medium supplemented with the different concentration of Avicel for 5 or 3 days, respectively. T. reesei strain QM9414 was grown on MA-medium supplemented with the different concentration of microcrystalline cellulose for 4 days. Bars represent dry weight plotted on the right axis, while lines represent glucose equivalents plotted on the left axis. Error bars denote standard error of the mean.
