Figure 2. Extracellular glucosidase activity at 20ºC (A) and 60ºC (B) as a function of water activity for different soils. Enzyme activity is presented as percentage of maximum activity for each soil. Error bars represent the standard deviation. Symbols represent different soils: Black square, Galicia; Grey square, Aragón; Black triangle, Salamanca; Grey triangle, Seville; Black circle and dashed line, Cádiz. Figure 3. Extracellular phosphatase activity at 20ºC (A) and 60ºC (B) as a function of water activity for different soils. Enzyme activity is presented as percentage of maximum activity for each soil. Error bars represent the standard deviation. Symbols represent different soils: Black square, Galicia; Grey square, Aragón; Black triangle, Salamanca; Grey triangle, Seville; Black circle and dashed line, Cádiz. Figure 4. Extracellular protease activity at 20ºC (A) and 60ºC (B) as a function of water activity for different soils. Enzyme activity is presented as percentage of maximum activity for each soil.
