Effect of treatment with different agents (chelators, metal ions, detergents, and reducing agents) on rEG A activity.

Treatment	Relative activity (%)
Control	100.00 ± 3.95
SDS	31.24 ± 4.73*
EDTA	103.69 ± 4.07
DTT	132.43 ± 3.11*
FeCl3⋅6H2O	92.00 ± 6.09
AlCl3	67.10 ± 4.54*
CaCl2	112.55 ± 6.91*
ZnSO4	83.03 ± 7.19*
NaCl	97.14 ± 4.30
CoCl2⋅7H2O	132.26 ± 3.19*
CuCl2	120.37 ± 2.33*
KCl	99.34 ± 4.20
𝛽-mercaptoethanol	181.81 ± 11.09*

Asterisks (*) indicate statistical difference within the same fraction (𝑃<0.05) when compared to control. The results are presented in terms of activity ± standard deviation. The endoglucanase activity was assayed after the addition of 18 mM of the agents to the reaction system.
