Abstract

Pectin methylesterase (PME) was purified from the supernatant of strain Bd90. SDS-PAGE showed a single band at 42 kDa, but this band corresponded to two distinct isoforms observed by IEF-PAGE at pl values of 7.0 and 7.4. PME was produced during the exponential phase of fungal growth and independently of the carbon source. Unlike other pectinases of , which are polymorphic, no differences were observed between the PME profiles of 25 strains of different origins. Polyclonal antibodies were raised against purified PME from , and immunochemical comparisons with PMEs from and showed the presence of common epitopes between these different enzymes.
