the pectic enzymes produced in vitro by 8 isolates (5 highly virulent and 3 weakly virulent) of fusarium oxysporum , were detected by spectrophotometry, and characterized by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with substrate-containing gels (zymogram). analysis of the polygalacturonase (pg) isozyme banding patterns (zymogram) identified two distinct phenotypes among the isolates from chickpea (c...

BACKGROUND Keeping in mind the commercial application of polygalacturonase (PG) in juice and beverages industry, bacterial strains were isolated from rotten fruits and vegetables to screen for competent producers of PG. OBJECTIVES In this study, the plate method was used for preliminary screening of polygalacturonase-producing bacteria, while the Dinitrosalicylic Acid (DNS) method was used fo...
