Detection of lichenase A, xylanase B and carboxymethylcellulase C activities of Bacillus CCMM B940 and B945 strains, using agar-well plate assays with concentrated extracellular proteins of BSS cultures with 0.5% apple. Agar plate BSS medium was supplemented with 0.5% (w/v) lichenan, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), or 0.1% AZCL beechwood xylans. Plates were incubated overnight at 37 °C. Clear and blue halos around the wells indicate a positive sample for the corresponding glycoside hydrolase activity
