Lichenase and xylanase specific activities of extracellular proteins from Bacillus CCMM B940 and CCMM B945 cultivated in BSS medium supplemented with 0.5% apple and orange peels

Strains	Apple		Orange
	CCMM B940	CCMM B945	CCMM B940	CCMM B945
Lichenase activity (IU/mg)	4.06 ± 1.1	nd	1.6 ± 0.2	nd
Xylanase activity (IU/mg)	2.39 ± 0.29	nd	0.98 ± 0.2	nd

Specific activities are given as µmol of glucose (incubation with lichenan) or xylose (incubation with xylans) equivalent produced per min and per mg of protein. Each value is the mean of three different assays (± SD)
