Evaluating the Biodeterioration Enzymatic Activities of Fungal Contamination Isolated from Some Ancient Yemeni Mummies Preserved in the National Museum

Figure 2

Levels of specific activity (SA) (U/mg protein) during growth incubation at 28°C (left -axis) for (a) cellulase from Aspergillus candidus, (b) chitinase from Aspergillus niger, (c) protease from Cladosporium herbarum, (d) pectin lyase (PL) from Trichoderma hamatum, (e) pectin methyl esterase (PME) from Trichoderma hamatum. Right -axis indicates the effect of incubation period on dry weight (DW) of each fungus growth. Data presented in these graphs are mean ± standard division for double measures of three separate repeats.
