Enzymatic activities of the most productive fungal strains.

(A) Number of strains with cellulase (blue), chitinase (green), lipase (red), and xylanase activity (yellow), measured in the supernatant. (B) Different specific enzymatic activities (U/mg) of fungal isolates sorted by their respective taxonomic position (Fig 1). Red, high activity; yellow, average activity; blue, low activity. Values are chitinase 0.15, 0.05 and 0.00 U/mg, lipase 0.27, 0.12 and 0.04 U/mg, cellulase 0.09, 0.02 and 0.00 U/mg and, xylanase 1.03, 0.58 and 0.23 U/mg, for high, average and low activity, respectively.
