  1. FPA: filter paper activity; n.d.: not detectable.; n.a.: not analyzed.
  2. F-1663/S, WS, B: the crude enzyme supernatants of Trichoderma atroviride TUB F-1663 produced on steam-pretreated spruce, wheat straw and sugarcane bagasse.
  3. The activities presented are the mean values of at least two separate measurements. The standard deviations are <10%, and mainly 1–4% for FPA, <10% for β-glucosidase, 1–5% for xylanase and β-xylosidase, mostly around 10% for endoglucanase, and 5–10% for mannanase and β-mannosidase measurement.
