Biomass saccharification performances of 15 Aspergillus spp. secretomes. Effect on the saccharification of pretreated biomass (5% w/v) of the addition to a T. reesei cellulolytic cocktail of Aspergillus secretomes produced by strains BRFM 405, 430, 1487, 1489 and 1490 on maize bran (MB), sugar beet pulp (SBP) and Avicel (Avi). a Wheat straw; b poplar; c miscanthus. The bars show the improvement of cellulose conversion yields in the presence of secretomes compared to cellulose conversion yields obtained with T. reesei cocktail alone, after 24 h and 96 h of reaction. Means were calculated on more than 10 replicates; the * indicates a Student test p-value lower than 0.05
