Figure 3.

Effect of the temperature in the culture of A. cellulolyticus C-1 on cell growth (A), cellulase activity (B), and specific cellulase activity (C). Cellulase producing medium was used with SF as a sole inducing substrate for cellulase production at different culture temperatures (24, 28, 32, 36, 40, and 44°C). Symbols in A and B: closed circles, 24°C; closed squares, 28°C; closed triangles, 32°C; open circles, 36°C; open squares, 40°C; open triangles, 44°C. Error bars denote standard deviation (n = 3). As determined by ANOVA analysis, the cellulase activities affected by culture temperature in B are significant at p < 0.0001
