The ability of the enterobacterium Erwinia chrysanthemi to induce pathogenesis in plant tissue is strongly related to the massive production of plant-cell-wall-degrading enzymes (pectinases, cellulases, and proteases).

Evaluation of the potential of free and immobilized thermophilic bacterial enzymes in the degradation of agro-industrial wastes [PDF]
Agro-industrial wastes are potential starting materials for the production of useful value-added compounds, including prebiotic oligosaccharides. In this paper, we evaluated the potential of thermophilic bacterial pectin- and xylan-degrading ...

Identification and Characterisation of a Pectinolytic Enzyme from Paenibacillus xylanolyticus
Pectinolytic enzymes play an important role in the processing of lignocellulosic materials because of their ability to improve the access of cellulases to their substrate by removing pectins. The strain Paenibacillus xylanolyticus 2-6L3 was isolated from

Structure of pectate lyase A: comparison to other isoforms [PDF]
Pectate lyase A is a virulence factor secreted by the plant-pathogenic bacteria Erwinia chrysanthemi. The enzyme cleaves the glycosidic bond of pectate polymers by a calcium-dependent beta-elimination mechanism. The crystal structure of pectate lyase A from E.

Synergism between Erwinia pectate lyase isoenzymes that depolymerize both pectate and pectin [PDF]
Phytopathogenic Erwinia bacteria cause tissue maceration by secretion of pectinolytic enzymes such as pectate lyase (PL). Sequencing of overlapping genomic fragments from Erwinia carotovora subsp. atroseptica established the organization of a 7.5 kbp region encoding PL isoenzymes.

Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne javanica) are obligate sedentary endoparasites that must penetrate the host root to initiate their life cycle. Many enzymes are secreted by the nematode to facilitate host penetration; required enzymes may include pectate

Abundance and genetic diversity of microbial polygalacturonase and pectate lyase in the sheep rumen ecosystem. [PDF]
Efficient degradation of pectin in the rumen is necessary for plant-based feed utilization. The objective of this study was to characterize the diversity, abundance, and functions of pectinases from microorganisms in the sheep rumen.A total of 103 unique
