MICROBIAL DECOMPOSITION OF PECTIC SUBSTANCES V. Evidence for the role of Micrococcus sp. in the retting of sisal and coconut husk

N P JAYASANKAR, A D AGATE, J V BHAT

Abstract


Micrococcus sp. isolated from the rets of sisal and coir were shown to be pectinolytic in nature. Besides differing in their morphological and physiological traits, the differences in the pectinolylic enzymes of the Isolates from the two ecosystems have been brought out. The interesting influence of NaCI on the glycosidase enzyme has been demonstrated.
