Fig. 8From: Bioprospecting thermophilic glycosyl hydrolases, from hot springs of Himachal Pradesh, for biomass valorizationEffect of metal ions, inhibitors, surfactants, detergents and oxidizing agents on endoglucanase activity. Endoglucanase activity was determined at 70 °C at pH 7.0 in the presence of various metal ions, inhibitors, surfactants, detergents and oxidizing agents. After a period of 1 h pre-incubation, endoglucanase activity was assayed. The enzyme activity without pre-incubation with metal ions, inhibitors, surfactants, detergents and oxidizing agents was taken as 100%. Mean standard deviation for all the values is ± 5.0%Back to article page
