Figure 3From: Horizontal gene transfer of microbial cellulases into nematode genomes is associated with functional assimilation and gene turnoverCellulase activity in diplogastrid nematodes. The cellulase activity assays were performed on carboxymethylcellulose agar plates [3, 23]. Clear halos were detected in the supernatants of P. uniformis, P. entomophagus, P. aerivorus, P. pseudaerivorus, P. sp. 11, P. sp. 15, and K. sudhausi mixed-stage cultures and in the positive control (Aspergillus). No halos were observed in the supernatants of mixed-stage cultures of Acrostichus sp. and D. magnus and the negative control (Escherichia coli).Back to article page
