  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

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.
