Phenotypic analysis of N. crassa strains CP_clr-5 and OE_clr-5 on 2% Avicel. The assessment of extracellular protein concentration (A) and the enzymatic activities of endo-glucanase (B), xylanase (C), β-glucosidase (D), and exo-cellulase (E) in the supernatants from cultures of N. crassa strains CP_clr-5 and OE_clr-5 after 7 days of growth on Avicel, in comparison to the WT strain. *, **, and *** represent significant difference at p < 0.05, p < 0.01, and p < 0.001, respectively; ns represents not significant. Error bars indicate the standard deviations from at least three biological replicates
