Effect of temperature on pectinolytic activity of Geomyces sp. F09-T3-2. Supernatant samples obtained at day 5 (day of maximal production, see Fig. 2) were used. Pectinolytic activity was measured according the quantitative assay described in “Methods”, except that temperature of assay was varied. Maximal specific activity obtained at 30 °C was set as 100% activity, and the average specific activities obtained at other temperatures were normalized and expressed as percentage with respect to activity at 30 °C. Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation of three independent readings
