a Growth of T. reesei QM9414 and T. reesei RP698 on PDA slants after 4 days at 27 °C. b Time course of cellulase production by T. reesei RP698. Culture conditions: Mandels’ medium containing Avicel 1% (w/v), 27 °C, pH 6.0, and 110 rpm. The black-filled square represents the Avicelase activity (100% is 0.78 ± 0.04 U/mL). The red-filled circle represents the CMCase activity (100% is 11.8 ± 0.92 U/mL). The blue up-pointing arrow represents the FPase activity (100% is 0.72 ± 0.06 U/mL). All data are the means ± SD of three experiments (n = 3)
