Summary
The different synthesis of polygalacturonase (PG) and pectinesterase (PE) by aggregated mycelium of the strainAspergillus niger ZIMET 43 692 can be regulated to a certain degree by the kind and concentration of the carbon source and the fermentation time. The various enzyme mixtures are applicable for special purposes in fruit and vegetable processing.
