Nitrogen source; 0.1% (w/v)	Enzyme activity (𝜇mol mL^-1min^-1)	Relative Activity (%)
(NH4)2SO4	4.56	45.64
(NH4)NO3	5.43	55.35
NH4Cl	6.25	62.56
(NH4)2SO4FeSO4	2.12	21.22
(NH4)H2PO4	3.16	31.63
CH	8.55	85.58
YE	9.55	99.59
CH+YE (Control)	9.99	100.00

The experiment was carried out using pectin methyl ester as carbon source.
