Polygalacturonase and Pectin Lyase of Penicillium sclerotigenum

Patrick O. Olutiola*

Penicillium sclerotigenum Yamamoto grew in synthetic liquid medium with pectic substance as sole carbon source, releasing proteins which exhibited polygalacturonase (PG; poly (1,4-α-D-galacturonide) glycohydrolase, EC 32.1.15) and pectin lyase (PL; poly (methoxygalacturonide) lyase, EC 4.2.2.10) activities. The enzymes were also present in mycelial...
