Production, Purification, and Characterization of Polygalacturonase from Mucor circinelloides ITCC 6025

Table 1

Effect of various carbon sources on PGase production from Mucor circinelloides.

Carbon source; 1% (w/v)	Enzyme activity (𝜇mol mL^-1min^-1)	Relative Activity (%)
Pectin (methyl ester)	9.15	100.00
Apple pectin	8.41	91.91
Glucose	2.12	23.16
Fructose	5.86	64.04
Galactose	2.30	25.13
Maltose	2.50	27.32

The experiment was carried out using casein hydrolysate as nitrogen source.
