The filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger produces several endopolygalacturonases that are involved in the degradation of pectin. PGI, the enzyme representing the second most abundant activity in a commercial enzyme preparation, was further characterized and the corresponding gene was isolated. The n
During the production of pectinases by a strain of Aspergillus niger isolated from rotten lemons, methanol was liberated into the medium due to the cleavage of the pectin molecule used as the carbon source. The methanol was subsequently consumed by the microorganism but neither the synthesis nor the
The induction of arabinases in Aspergillus niger N400 was studied on different simple and complex carbon sources. Sugar beet pulp was found to be an inducer of three arabinan degrading enzymes (alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase A, alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase B and endoarabinase). These enzymes were purifi
