Reducing-sugar release from micronized substrates by different enzymatic cocktails at 37°C and 50°C. A, Micronized wheat-straw was incubated at 37°C (white histograms) or 50°C (gray histograms) in the presence of 15 μL of the indicated enzymes (X axis, see 'Methods' for details) for 24 h. B, As for A except that micronized spruce was used as substrate and incubation time was 72 h. In A and B, the results of three independent experiments, each performed in triplicate, are expressed as % of E/50 activity.
