  1. A corresponds to the maximum intensity of the peak area related to protein-like (PN-like) substances, B to phenolic gallic acid-like (PA-like) molecules and C to the humic acid-like (HA-like) substances. SEC and EEM profiles were obtained from supernatants of SDW pre-treated by A. niger during 5 days
