Influence of medium composition and pH on the production of polygalacturonases by Aspergillus oryzae

A liquid medium containing wheat bran, salts and a source of inducer (pectin) was found to be suitable for the production of exo- and endo-polygalacturonases by Aspergillus oryzae CCT3940. Induction of polygalacturonases by purified pectin was significantly higher than when rinds of citrus fruits we...
