Abstract
Coffee pulp (CP) is a significant agro-industrial waste generated during coffee bean processing, which possess substantial environmental contamination and is rich in pectin. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the conversion of pectin extracted from coffee pulp into pectic oligosaccharides (POS) using native microbial strains. The study aimed to optimize the growing conditions, including temperature, time, and pectin concentration, to assess the productivity of pectinase. Two fungal strains that exhibited the highest growth on CP were isolated and subsequently identified as Aspergillus fumigatus P-1007 and A. fumigatus HA1, employing 5.8S rRNA gene sequencing. The optimization of temperature for the organism was carried out between 25 and 45 °C; compared to the other temperatures at 45 °C the productivity of pectinase was high; the exact temperature was used for the time experiment where we found that compared to the A. fumigatus P-1007, A. fumigates HA1 was showed high enzyme productivity on 6th day. Hence, the highest productivity of endo-pectinase was seen at a temperature of 45 °C on the 6th day using isolated A. fumigates HA1 in the CP with 1% of coffee pectin. Additionally, the produced POS were screened and confirmed through TLC and HPLC analysis. The antioxidant activity of the POS derived from the separated CP demonstrated an effective concentration (EC50) of 400 µg/ml. The study indicates that the efficient utilization of CP waste for producing potentially valuable functional food ingredients, such as POS, holds promise for commercial development.

Exo-polygalacturonase production enhancement by Piriformospora indica from sugar beet pulp under submerged fermentation using the response surface methodology. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:45815-45826.

Abstract
This study proposed a novel and cost-effective approach to enhance and optimize the exo-polygalacturonase from P. indica, a root endophytic fungus. In the current investigation, the impact of ammonium sulfate, sugar beet pulp (SBP), and glucose as variables on induction of exo-polygalacturonase from P. indica was optimized using the central composite design (CCD) of response surface methodology (RSM) under submerged fermentation (SmF). Additionally, determination of the exo-polygalacturonase molecular weight and in situ analysis was performed. The optimal reaction conditions, which resulted in the highest enzyme activity, were observed in the following conditions: ammonium sulfate (4 g/L), SBP (20 g/L), and glucose (60 g/L). Under the optimized condition, the maximum enzyme activity reached 19.4 U/ml (127 U/mg), which increased by 5.84 times compared to non-optimized conditions. The exo-polygalacturonase molecular weight was estimated at 60 KDa. In line with the bioinformatic analysis, the exo-polygalacturonase sequence of P. indica showed similarity with Rhizoctonia solani's and Thanateporus cucumeris. These results indicated that SBP acts as a cheap and suitable inducer of exo-polygalacturonase production by P. indica in submerged cultivation. The outcome of this study will be useful for industries to decrease environmental pollution with cost-effective approaches.

Abstract
Seed endophytic bacteria (SEB) are primary symbionts that play crucial roles in plant growth and development. The present study reports the isolation of seven culturable SEB including Kosakonia cowanii (KAS1), Bacillus subtilis (KAS2), Bacillus tequilensis (KAS3), Pantoea stewartii (KAS4), Paenibacillus dendritiformis (KAS5), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (KAS6), and Bacillus velezensis (KAS7) in pearl millet seeds. All the isolates were characterized for their plant growth promoting activities. Most of the SEB also inhibited the growth of tested fungal phytopathogens in dual plate culture. Removal of these SEB from seeds compromised the growth and development of seedlings, however, re-inoculation with the SEB (Kosakonia cowanii, Pantoea stewartii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) restored the growth and development of seedlings significantly. Fluorescence microscopy showed inter and intracellular colonization of SEB in root parenchyma and root hair cells. Lipopeptides were extracted from all three Bacillus spp. which showed strong antifungal activity against tested fungal pathogens. Antifungal lipopeptide genes were also screened in Bacillus spp. After lipopeptide treatment, live-dead staining with fluorescence microscopy along with bright-field and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed structural deformation and cell death in Fusarium mycelia and spores. Furthermore, the development of pores in the membrane and leakages of protoplasmic substances from cells and ultimately death of hyphae and spores were also confirmed. In microcosm assays, treatment of seeds with Bacillus subtilis or application of its lipopeptide alone significantly protected seedlings from Fusarium sp. infection.

Abstract
Bacteria from different crops and plant varieties have been shown to possess enormous growth promotional attributes. The study aimed to investigate the role of the endophytic microbiome of seeds of corn in improving the growth of seedlings of two different varieties of maize crops (K-25 and baby corn). Furthermore, the study also assessed the role of these bacteria in the protection of seedlings from fungal pathogens. Total twenty-three endophytic bacterial strains were isolated from maize seeds and identified using 16S rDNA sequencing. Most of the isolates had the ability to synthesize auxin (70 %) and solubilize phosphate (74 %), while all the isolates showed nitrogen fixation ability. Some isolates also showed antagonistic activity against phytopathogenic fungi including Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium sp. suggesting their biocontrol potential. The presence of different lipopeptide genes including bacillomycin D, fengycin, iturin A and surfactin was confirmed in some of the isolates. We observed that treating seeds with an antibiotic compromised the seedlings' growth; however, re-inoculation with endophytic isolates (ZM1/Lysinibacillus sp. and ZM2/Paenibacillus dendritiformis) restored the growth of the seedlings in terms of improved root and shoot development in comparison to non-inoculated controls. The colonization of inoculated bacteria on the root surface was visualized using fluorescent microscopy. Seedling protection assay showed that treated seeds (with ZMW8/ Bacillus velezensis) were protected from fungal infestation (Fusarium verticillioides) even after 12 days of inoculation in comparison to the uninoculated control. The study concludes that indigenous seed-associated bacteria of maize play a major role during seed germination, seedling formation and protect them from phytopathogens.

Abstract
Pectinases are enzymes which are widely distributed in microbes that are present in pectin enriched sites. The agro-industrial residues can be utilized in the industrial scale for low-cost and efficient pectinase production in an eco-friendly approach. This study employs low-cost substrates (i.e. culinary fruit peels) for maximum pectinase production from novel Streptomyces fumigatiscleroticus VIT-SP4. The extraction and characterization of pectin from different fruit peels were investigated and pectinase activity was analyzed. The orange pectin gave maximum pectinase activity of about 45.93 (U/mL). Further, statistical optimization of process parameters was studied by using Taguchi method showed optimum values of pH-6, temperature −35 °C, orange pectin% − 2.5, incubation time- 48 h and RPM- 200 rpm and pectinase activity was found to be 98.65 (U/mL). The response surface methodology (RSM) was used for the optimization of media components which revealed that starch −1.17%, yeast extract-2%, and orange pectin% − 0.75% produces maximum pectinase of about 170.05 (U/mL). The drug-delivery study showed drug release was not observed at initial pH 3 after 4 h. The immediate drug release was noted at pH 6 caused due to disintegration of pectin by the pectinase activity. The self-healing of cracks by spray culture technique was investigated. The crack healing was observed up to 0.50 mm wide after 12 days. This confirms the ability of actinomycete spores to survive and they react to form calcite complex directly helps in crack healing process. This low-cost microbial pectinase can be used in drug delivery and concrete crack-healing applications sectors in future.

Front Microbiol 2020; 11:751.

Abstract
Currently, the poultry industry has been faced with consumer pressure to utilize only vegetable feedstuffs in poultry diets, eliminate antibiotics from poultry production, and rear poultry in free range systems. To maintain current production standards, the industry must determine ways to enhance nutrient uptake and utilization further. One possible solution is the supplementation of pectinase, an enzyme that degrades pectin within the cell walls of plants, in poultry diets. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to determine the potential role of a pectinase producer, Dickeya dadantii DSM 18020, as a commercially utilized pectinase producer in poultry diets against other known pectinase producers, in silico. In the current study, whole genomes of Dickeya dadantii DSM 18020 (Dd18020), D. dadantii 3937 (Dd3937), D. solani IPO 2222 (Ds2222), Bacillus halodurans C-125 (BhC125), and B. subtilis subsp. subtilis str. 168 (Bs168) were compared using bioinformatic approaches to compare the chromosomal genome size, GC content, protein coding genes (CDS), total genes, average protein length (a.a.) and determine the predicted metabolic pathways, predicted pectin degrading enzymes, and pectin-degradation pathways across pectinase producers. Due to insufficient information surrounding the genome of Dd18020 (lack of annotation), the genome of Dd3937, a 99% identical genome to Dd18020, was utilized to compare pectinase-associated enzymes and pathways. The results from the current study demonstrated that Dd3937 possessed the most significant proportion of pathways presented and the highest number of pathways related to degradation, assimilation, and utilization of pectin. Also, Dd18020 exhibited a high number of pectinase-related enzymes. Both Dd3937 and Dd2222 shared the pectin degradation I pathway via the EC 3.1.1.11, EC 3.2.1.82, and EC 4.2.2.- enzymes, but did not share this pathway with either Bacillus species. In conclusion, Dd18020 demonstrated the genetic potential to produce multiple pectinase enzymes that could be beneficial to the degradation of pectin in poultry diets. However, for Dd18020 to become a commercially viable enzyme producer for the poultry industry, further research quantifying the pectinase production in vitro and determining the stability of the produced pectinases during feed manufacturing are necessary.

Abstract
Pectinaceous agricultural residues rich in D-galacturonic acid (D-GalA), such as sugar beet pulp, are considered as promising feedstocks for waste-to-value conversions. Aspergillus niger is known for its strong pectinolytic activity. However, while specialized strains for production of citric acid or proteins are well characterized, this is not the case for the production of pectinases. We, therefore, systematically compared the pectinolytic capabilities of six A. niger strains (ATCC 1015, ATCC 11414, NRRL 3122, CBS 513.88, NRRL 3, and N402) using controlled batch cultivations in stirred-tank bioreactors. A. niger ATCC 11414 showed the highest polygalacturonase activity, specific protein secretion, and a suitable morphology. Furthermore, D-GalA release from sugar beet pulp was 75% higher compared to the standard lab strain A. niger N402. Our study, therefore, presents a robust initial strain selection to guide future process improvement of D-GalA production from agricultural residues and identifies a high-performance base strain for further genetic optimizations.

Abstract
Using solid-state fermentation, production of an industrially important pectin lyase from a fungal strain Fusarium oxysporum MTCC 1755 was attempted, which was further subjected to purification and characterization. The enzyme was purified by three steps, namely ammonium sulfate fractionation, cation-exchange chromatography on CM cellulose followed by gel filtration chromatography using Sephadex G-100 column. A 16-fold purification with 31.2% yield and 3.2 U/mg specific activity was achieved. The optimum pH of the purified enzyme was 9.0 and stability ranged from pH 5.0-7.0 for 24 h. Optimum temperature of purified enzyme was found to be 40 °C while temperature stability ranged from 10 to 50 °C for 30 min. The K m and k cat of the enzyme was 1.75 mg/ml and 83.3 s-1, respectively. The purified enzyme was found to be highly stimulated by Ca2+ ions while sugars like mannitol and sorbitol, and salts like NaCl and CaCl2 enhanced the thermostability. The purified pectin lyase was found suitable for retting of Crotolaria juncea fiber.

Abstract
Inositol phosphorylceramide (IPC) synthase is the key enzyme with highly conserved sequences, which is involved in fungal sphingolipid biosynthesis. The antibiotic aureobasidin A (AbA) induces the death of fungi through inhibiting IPC synthase activity. The mutations of AUR1 gene coding IPC synthase in fungi and protozoa causes a resistance to AbA. However, the mechanism of AbA resistance is still elusive. In this paper, we generated two mutants of Botrytis cinerea with AbA-resistance, BcAUR1a and BcAUR1b, through UV irradiation. BcAUR1a lost an intron and BcAUR1b had three amino acid mutations (L197P, F288S and T323A) in the AUR1 gene. AbA strongly inhibits the activity of IPC synthase in wild-type B. cinerea, which leads to distinct changes in cell morphology, including the delay in conidial germination, excessive branching near the tip of the germ tube and mycelium, and the inhibition of the mycelium growth. Further, AbA prevents the infection of wild-type B. cinerea in tomato fruits via reducing oxalic acid secretion and the activity of cellulase and pectinase. On the contrary, AbA has no effect on the growth and pathogenicity of the two mutants. Although both mutants show a similar AbA resistance, the molecular mechanisms might be different between the two mutants.

Abstract
A thermophilic fungal strain producing polygalacturonase was isolated after primary screening of 40 different isolates. The fungus was identified as Rhizomucor pusilis by Microbial Type Culture Collection (MTCC), Chandigarh, India. An extracellular polygalacturonase (PGase) from R. pusilis was purified to homogeneity by two chromatographic steps using Sephadex G-200 and Sephacryl S-100. The purified enzyme was a monomer with a molecular weight of 32 kDa. The PGase was optimally active at 55°C and at pH 5.0. It was stable up to 50°C for 120 min of incubation and pH condition between 4.0 and 5.0. The stability of PGase decreases rapidly above 60°C and above pH 5.0. The apparent Km and Vmax values were 0.22 mg/mL and 4.34 U/mL, respectively. It was the first time that a polygalacturonase enzyme was purified in this species. It would be worthwhile to exploit this strain for polygalacturonase production. Polygalacturonase from this strain can be recommended for the commercial production because of its constitutive and less catabolically repressive nature, thermostability, wide range of pH, and lower Km properties. However, scale-up studies are needed for the better output for commercial production.

Abstract
Mucor circinelloides produced an extracellular polygalacturonase enzyme, the production of which was enhanced when various production parameters were optimized. Maximum polygalacturonase (PGase) activity was obtained in 48 h at 30°C and pH 4.0 with pectin methyl ester (1% w/v) as carbon source and a combination of casein hydrolysate (0.1% w/v) and yeast extract (0.1% w/v) as nitrogen source. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity (13.3-fold) by Sephacryl S-100 gel-filtration chromatography. Its molecular weight was 66 kDa on SDS-PAGE. The enzyme was found to have Km and Vmax values of 2.2 mM and 4.81 IU/ml at 0.1% to 0.5% (w/v) concentration of the substrate. The addition of phenolic acids (0.05 mM), metal ions such as Mn+2, Co+2, Mg+2, Fe+3, Al+3, Hg+2, and Cu+2, and thiols had inhibitory effect on the enzyme. The enzyme showed maximum activity in the presence of polygalacturonic acid (0.1% w/v) at pH 5.5 and 42°C.

Abstract
Submerged fermentation (SmF) was carried out using the pumpkin oil cake (PuOC) as a substrate for the production of exo-pectinase (exo-p) by Penicillium roqueforti. PuOC was used as carbon, nitrogen and mineral source for fungi growth and exo-p production. SmF was carried out in the production medium containing 0.2% KH2PO4, 0.1% MgSO4 and 0.1% NaCl, supplemented with PuOC at 2% concentration. The obtained results show that P. roqueforti cultivated in a liquid medium in the presence of PuOC as a source of nitrogen, produced significant amount of exo-p, activity 161.03 U/ml.

Abstract
Pectinase production studies were carried out in submerged and solid-state conditions from deseeded sunflower head employing Aspergillus niger. The two potential strains of A. niger, DMF 27 for submerged and DMF 45 for solid-state were isolated by multi-step screening technique based on coefficient of pectolysis and capability of pectinase production. Process variables such as size of inoculum, pH, temperature, particle size and moisture content were optimized with an aim to achieve the maximum production of pectinases. The increased level of pectinase production was recorded at pH 5.0 and temperature 34 degrees C in submerged and solid-state conditions. The optimum inoculum size was 1x10(5)ml(-1) for submerged and 1x10(7)g(-1) for solid-state conditions. Five hundred micrometer particle size and 65% moisture content of the substrate were optimum for the maximum production of pectinases in solid-state condition. Under optimum conditions, maximum production of exo-pectinase was 34.2U/g in SSF and endo-pectinase was 12.6U/ml in SmF.

Abstract
Studies were carried out on the production of pectinases using deseeded sunflower head by Aspergillus niger DMF 27 and DMF 45 in submerged fermentation (SmF) and solid-state fermentation (SSF). Higher titres of endo- and exo-pectinases were observed when medium was supplemented with carbon (4% glucose for SmF and 6% sucrose for SSF) and nitrogen (ammonium sulphate, 0.3% for both SmF and SSF) sources. Green gram husk proved to be relatively a better supplement to attain higher yield of endo-pectinase (11.7 U/g) and exo-pectinase (30.0 U/g) in solid-state conditions. Maximum production of endo-pectinase (19.8 U/g) and exo-pectinase (45.9 U/g) by DMF 45 were recorded in SSF when compared to endo-pectinase (18.9 U/ml) and exo-pectinase (30.3 U/ml) by DMF 27 in SmF under optimum process conditions.

Abstract
Sediment samples were collected from different estuarine and marine areas along the West coast of India. Eighteen actinomycete cultures were isolated using starch casein agar and were screened for polygalacturonase activity by growing them on pectin-agar plates. Clear zones were visualized using 1% cetrimide. Out of the 18 strains screened ten cultures could effect hydrolysis of pectin. The above cultures were subjected to secondary screening under submerged fermentation. The actinomycete strain of Streptomyces lydicus was found to be a potent producer of polygalacturonase. Different growth media were screened for enzyme production and the best medium was selected for further studies. The crude enzyme was used for the treatment of raw banana fibers.

Abstract
The partitioning of pectinases in the poly(ethylene glucol)4000/ammonium sulpohate system was studied and also its application for enzymes extraction from the top phase of the poly(ethylene glucol)4000/crude dextran system. Almost complete one-sided partition of endo-pectinase and exo-pectinase to the bottom phase of the polymer/salt system was achieved at a tie-line length of 37.16 %. The concentration factors were 1.73 and 3.25, respectively. The highest total endo- and exo-pectinase yields (72.41 % and 69.46 % respectively) were obtained by integration of the polymer/polymer system at a tie-line of 8.61 % and a high phase volume ratio and the polymer/salt system at a tie-line of 30.23%and a low phase volume ratio. Integration of the partitioning at a high tie-line length in the polymer/polimer and a low tie-line length in the polymer/salt system resulted in a total concentration factor of 1.5 and a purification of 1.66 fold for exo-pectinase. The addition of phosphate to this integrated system improved the total concentration factor and purification fold of the activity to 1.73 and 2.14, respectively.

Abstract
This present study was undertaken to find optimum conditions of pH, temperature and, period of incubation for the pectinolytic activity of Kluyveromyces wickerhamii isolated from rotting fruits and to assess the effect of these factors by use of response surface methodology (RSM). A central composite rotatable design was used as an experimental design for the analysis of the allocation of treatment combinations. A second order polynomial regression model was fitted and was found adequate, with an R(2) of 0.94469 (P<0.001). The effects of temperature and pH were the most significant factors in influencing enzyme production. Estimated optimum conditions were as follows: pH 5.0, temperature, 32 degrees C and an incubation period of 91 h. Pectinesterase (PE), pectin lyase (PL), and cellulase activities were not detected. Pectinase production was partially constitutive. Pectin was degraded by the isolated strain of K. wickerhamii in the current study, and the pectinolytic activity is referred to as polygalacturonase (PG) activity. Crude enzyme extract was thermostable at various temperatures and, stimulated by the presence of Ca(2+) ions but inhibited by other ions like Mg(2+), Zn(2+), Co(2+), Mn(2+) and Na(+).

Abstract
A polygalacturonase with a molecular mass of 74 kDa, an isoelectric point around pH 4.2 and pH--and temperature optima of 3.9 and 50 degrees C, respectively, was purified from a culture fluid of Penicillium frequentans. The enzyme was characterized as an exo-alpha-1,4-polygalacturonase (exo-PG I). Km and Vmax for sodium polypectate hydrolysis were 0.68 g/l and 596.8 U x mg(-1), respectively. The enzyme, a glycoprotein with a carbohydrate content of 81%, is probably the main pectinase of Penicillium frequentans responsible for cleaving monomer units from the non-reducing end of pectin.

Abstract
Cultivation of the fungus Polyporus squamosus for pectinase production was studied in a polyethylene glycol/crude dextran aqueous two-phase system, with sugar beet extraction waste as pectin source. Fungal growth was restricted to the bottom phase and the amounts of biomass and exo-pectinase activity produced were superior to in homogeneous cultivation. The partition coefficients of endo-pectinase and exo-pectinase were 4.26 and 2.78, respectively. The top phase yields in the single extraction step were about 90% for both pectinases.

Abstract
The ability of Polyporus squamosus to grow and produce pectinases in an aqueous two-phase medium composed of polyethylene glycol and crude dextran is reported. Fungal growth was restricted to the bottom phase leaving the top phase cell free. Amounts of produced biomass and endo and exo-pectinase activities were superior or equal to those obtained in homogeneous medium. The partition coefficient for the endo-pectinase was 1.52 followed by a top phase yield of 70.86%. Although the phase system composition favours partition of a greater part of exo-pectinase activity to the bottom phase (K(exo) was 0.6 and yield in top phase 48.56%) the partitioned activity in the top phase was equal to that produced in homogeneous cultivation.

Abstract
Xylanase, beta-glucosidase, beta-xylosidase, endoglucanase and polygalacturonase production from Curvularia inaequalis was carried out by means of solid-state and submerged fermentation using different carbon sources. beta-Glucosidase, beta-xylosidase, polygalacturonase and xylanase produced by the microorganisms were characterized. beta-Glucosidase presented optimum activity at pH 5.5 whereas xylanase, polygalacturonase and beta-xylosidase activities were optimal at pH 5.0. Maximal activity of beta-glucosidase was determined at 60 degrees C, beta-xylosidase at 70 degrees C, and polygalacturonase and xylanase at 55 degrees C. These enzymes were stable at acidic to neutral pH and at 40-45 degrees C. The crude enzyme solution was studied for the hydrolysis of agricultural residues.

Abstract
Isolates of Aspergillus flavus can be differentiated based on production of the polygalacturonase P2c. One group of isolates produces P2c, whereas the other group does not. In general, the group that produces P2c causes more damage and spreads to a greater extent in cotton bolls than those isolates that do not produce P2c. To determine whether P2c contributes to disease, the expression of pecA, the gene previously determined to encode P2c, was genetically altered. Adding the pecA gene to a strain previously lacking the gene resulted in the ability to cause significantly more damage to the intercarpellary membrane and the ability spread to a greater extent within the adjacent locule compared to the abilities of a control transformant. Conversely, eliminating the expression of pecA by targeted disruption caused a significant reduction in aggressiveness compared to that of a nondisrupted control transformant. These results provide direct evidence that P2c contributes to the invasion and spread of A. flavus during infection of cotton bolls. However, other factors not evaluated in this study also contribute to aggressiveness.

Abstract
In the presence of glycerol or ethanol, SCPP (a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that expresses pectinolytic activity) is capable of utilizing galacturonic acid or pectins for growth purposes. We now establish a relationship between the pectinolytic power of various strains of S. cerevisiae and their ability to grow on a pectin/glycerol-based medium. This property is further exploited for the detection of polygalacturonase-producing strains of S. cerevisiae.

Abstract
Two genes, pecA and pecB, encoding endopolyglacturonases were cloned from a highly aggressive strain of Aspergillus flavus. The pecA gene consisted of 1,228 bp encoding a protein of 363 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 37.6 kDa, interrupted by two introns of 58 and 81 bp in length. Accumulation of pecA mRNA in both pectin- or glucose-grown mycelia in the highly aggressive strain matched the activity profile of a pectinase previously identified as P2c. Transformants of a weakly aggressive strain containing a functional copy of the pecA gene produced P2c in vitro, confirming that pecA encodes P2c. The coding region of pecB was determined to be 1,217 bp in length interrupted by two introns of 65 and 54 bp in length. The predicted protein of 366 amino acids had an estimated molecular mass of 38 kDa. Transcripts of this gene accumulated in mycelia grown in medium containing pectin alone, never in mycelia grown in glucose-containing medium, for both highly and weakly aggressive strains. Thus, pecB encodes the activity previously identified as P1 or P3. pecA and pecB share a high degree of sequence identity with polygalacturonase genes from Aspergillus parasiticus and Aspergillus oryzae, further establishing the close relationships between members of the A. flavus group. Conservation of intron positions in these genes also indicates that they share a common ancestor with genes encoding endopolyglacturonases of Aspergillus niger.

Abstract
Intact conidia of Aspergillus sp. were able to degrade pectin 'in vitro' even when protein synthesis was inhibited, thus indicating the presence of cell bound pectinases. At least an exo-pectinase was found and this enzyme was also present in the mycelium of Aspergillus sp. Its presence was not dependent on the carbon source used for growth, suggesting its constitutive nature. This exo-pectinase could be released from conidia or mycelium by incubation at different pH values and the amount of enzyme released could be increased by treatments with chemical agents and hydrolytic enzymes.
