Cloning and characterization of a pectin lyase gene from <it>Colletotrichum lindemuthianum </it>and comparative phylogenetic/structural analyses with genes from phytopathogenic and saprophytic/opportunistic microorganisms

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Microorganisms produce cell-wall-degrading enzymes as part of their strategies for plant invasion/nutrition. Among these, pectin lyases (PNLs) catalyze the depolymerization of esterified pectin by a β-elimination mechanism. PNLs are...
