Figure 4.5: Endoglucanase activities of the independent batch 4 samples with 0%, 5% 10%, 15%,
20% and 25% ethanol concentration. Error bars represent standard deviations among three
replicates.
The result of the statistical analysis obtained for the batch 4 supports the result earlier seen
in batch 3 even though the standalone batch 4 did not produce the same level of endoglucanase
activity as previously observed with the first 3 batches that were analyzed. Cellulosomal activity
could be highly dependent upon other extraneous factors, such as pH, temperature, presence of
chemical elements in the aqeous medium etc. For batch 4, samples from 5% to 25% followed a
similar pattern with the previously analyzed batche 1, 2 and 3 and a decline was observed in
endoglucanase activity with increasing ethanol concentration. An attempt was made to analyze
higher ethanol concentration above 30% and the result (not shown) was highly inconsistent and
therefore was dropped. The Mann-Whitney Ranked Sum Test was performed for the 24 hours and
48 hours reading of batch 4. The difference in the median values between the two groups is not62
