Cellulase and hemicellulase production by N. crassa (WT and Δcre-1) and T. reesei (QM6a and RUT-C30) on the cellulose substrates. Performance was measured by analysis of culture supernatant aliquots taken after 2 and 3 days, respectively. Endo-glucanase activity was measured by Azo-CMC assay and endo-xylanase activity by Azo-Xylanase assay as described in Methods. Values are the mean of biological triplicates. Error bars show standard deviation. Letters indicate data groups that are significantly different (separately for each strain; one-way ANOVA, p-values < 0.05 were considered significant). ND indicates that no values could be determined
