Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A specific macroalgal biomass decomposing fungus SL1 newly isolated and identified as Aspergillus fumigatus was found to be an efficient cellulases producer. This strain when cultivated on the whole green macroalgae as sole carbon source permitted the production of specific cellulases (specific activities of 30 and 33 U/mg of proteins for endoglucanase and β-glucosidase, respectively) different from commercial ones as shown by zymography. The application of the produced cellulases-based enzymatic cocktail for the saccharification of alkali pretreated Ulva sp. biomass yielded of 58%. This saccharification rate was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). An increase of 36% in saccharification yield was obtained under optimized conditions (13 U CMCase, 4% substrate and 135 rpm agitation) which agreed with model predictions. The biocatalytic conversion using specific fungal cellulases may be a promising approach for the biodegradation of stranded macroalgae and its valorization mostly for bioethanol production.
