Figure 2

Correlation of protease occurrence, abundance and activity in Aspergilli on WB or SBP. While growing on 2 different crude substrates (on 30°C and sampled at 72 h), the protease occurrence, abundance and the enzyme activity of seven tested Aspergillus strains show a general positive correlation. In WB more occurrences of proteases with higher abundance have been identified than in SBP, so as the enzyme activities. The protease abundance is presented in this figure by spectral counts, the amount of identified proteins which is presented in the figure by framed numbers. Legends: WB and SBP: protease activity in wheat bran and sugar beet pulp, respectively; WB^P and SBP^P: Protease abundance in wheat bran and sugar beet pulp, respectively.
