Purification and characterization of an alkaline pectin lyase from Aspergillus flavus

TLDR
An alkaline pectin lyase secreted by Aspergillus flavus MTCC 7589 was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity using ammonium sulphate fractionation, anion exchange chromatography on DEAE cellulose and gel filtration chromatography in order to show efficacy in retting of Crotalaria juncea fibers.

Production and partial purification of pectin lyase by Aspergillus niger grown on orange peels

TL;DR: The peel of citrus fruits contains a large percentage of pectin which can be a good substrate for pectinolytic microorganisms and these microbes secrete large amount of extracellular enzymes to degrade the cell wall of substrates.

Characterization of a neutral pectin lyase produced by Oidiodendron echinulatum MTCC 1356 in solid state fermentation.

TL;DR: A neutral pectin lyase produced by a new fungal strain Oidiodendron echinulatum MTCC 1356 under solid state fermentation using wheat bran as agro waste has been studied and showed retting of Crotalaria juncea fibre in the presence of EDTA.

Separation,Purification and Characterization of Three Endo-polygalacturonases from a Newly Isolated Penicillum oxalicum

TL;DR: Three endo-polygalacturonases from a newly isolated Penicillum oxalicum capable of utilizing waste biomass as growth substrate were separated and purified to homogeneity by ultra-filtration, affinity adsorption chromatography, CM-cellulose column Chromatography, and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration chromatography with the overall yield of 64.5% from the crude enzyme.

XYLANASES AND PECTINASES OF Aspergillus flavus CECT-2687 ON DIFFERENT CARBON SOURCES AND INITIAL pH VALUES

TL;DR: Results shown that this production of xylanases and pectinases is strongly dependent on the initial pH of the culture (is better at pH values between 6 and 8), as much as the composition and availability of polysaccharides used as carbon source.
