Cold-active pectinolytic activity produced by filamentous fungi associated with Antarctic marine sponges
Abstract Background Pectinase enzymes catalyze the breakdown of pectin, a key component of the plant cell wall. At industrial level, pectinases are used in diverse applications, especially in food-processing industry. Currently, most of the industrial pectinases have optimal activity at mesophilic t...
