Optimisation of Cellulase Production by Penicillium funiculosum in a Stirred Tank Bioreactor Using Multivariate Response Surface Analysis

Table 3

Maximum cellulase activities in different model cellulosic substrates.

Substrate	Highest activity (U·L^−1)^a
	FPase	Endoglucanase	𝛽-Glucosidase
Avicel	86.6 ± 3.1 (72)	590.1 ± 26.3 (72)	168.4 ± 15.8 (72)
Cellobiose	14.7 ± 4.0 (24)	72.7 ± 6.3 (24)	43.4 ± 0.3 (48)
CMC	37.6 ± 2.1 (72)	309.3 ± 20.0 (72)	83.3 ± 7.5 (96)

aValues in parentheses correspond to time of fermentation (h) when the maximum activities were observed.
