TLDR
This review deals mainly with the literature which has appeared since the discovery of pectin lyases in 1960 and it is emphasized that the choice of substrates and reaction conditions, as well as that of methods of analysis, to a large extent influence the values found for a number of enzyme properties.Abstract:
This review deals mainly with the literature which has appeared since the discovery of pectin lyases in 1960. Those papers have been selected which are reports of investigations carried out with purified enzyme preparations and rather well defined substrates. According to their action on high polymer pectic substances, the enzymes are placed in one of six different groups. Mutual relationships of some of the groups are discussed. It is emphasized that the choice of substrates and reaction conditions, as well as that of methods of analysis, to a large extent influence the values found for a number of enzyme properties. Trends for future research are outlined.read more

Degradation of Plant Cell Walls and Membranes by Microbial Enzymes
D. F. Bateman,H. G. Basham +1 more
TL;DR: Understanding of cell wall and membrane structure, coupled with knowledge of the enzymes capable of degrading the components of these structures, and an analysis of the association of these enzymes with diseased tissue, should enable us to make an appraisal of their involvement in pathogenesis.

Chemistry of Cell Wall Polysaccharides
TL;DR: The main groups of plant polysaccharide other than those, such as starch and fructans, fall into a number of well-defined structural families as mentioned in this paper, and the availability of modern techniques has made possible the development of a new and powerful complementary approach to the study of plant cell polysacchides.

Bacterial endophytes in cotton: mechanisms of entering the plant
TL;DR: Investigations were conducted to determine how a systemic plant-colonizing bacterium Enterobacter asburiae JM22 enters cotton plant tissues, a plant growth-promoting strain with biocontrol potential against various pathogens.

The relationship and properties of pectic glycosidases produced by host and pathogen during anthracnose disease of avocado
Isaac Barash,S. Khazzam +1 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrated that softening of the mesocarp during anthracnose development is primarily due to induction of the avocado polygalacturonase, which showed lower stability to temperature inactivation and higher K m value as compared to the fungal enzyme.

Composition and action of yeast polygalacturonase.
A. L. Demain,Herman J. Phaff +1 more
TL;DR: Yeast polygalacturonase is an exo-cellular pectic enzyme produced by Saccharomyces fragilis in a synthetic, protein-free medium and is constitutive and is not accompanied by pectinesterase.
