Abstract

Aspergillus terreus, the causal organism of fruit-rot of apples produced pectin methylesterase (PME) and depolymerase (DP) on a number of substrates. The production of polygalacturonase (PG) was restricted to few substances only and appeared to be adaptive. PME as well as hydrolytic activities were maximum when cultures were incubated at 25°C. The pH of the substrate for maximum PME and hydrolytic activities was 5.5 and 5.0 respectively.
