the genus fusarium is a species rich genus. different media are required to study themorphological characters and classify different species, a time consuming technique. in this study pecticzymograms were used to identify species and form species of fusarium isolates. fusarium isolates (318) wereobtained from different areas and hosts in isfahan province, iran. isolates were identified to speci...

Yeast polygalacturonase catalyzes a random hydrolysis of pectic acid to a mixture of digalacturonic and galacturonic acids via a series of oligogalacturonides (1). This enzyme will be termed yeast endo-polygalacturonase to differentiate it from end group-hydrolyzing enzymes, which have been named exopolygalacturonases (2). Evidence has been presented that yeast endo-polygalacturonase is a singl...

Relative molecular size distributions of pectic and hemicellulosic polysaccharides of pea (Pisum sativum cv Alaska) third internode primary walls were determined by gel filtration chromatography. Pectic polyuronides have a peak molecular mass of about 1100 kilodaltons, relative to dextran standards. This peak may be partly an aggregate of smaller molecular units, because demonstrable aggregatio...

Concentrated binary mixtures of polymers in solution commonly exhibit immiscibility, resolving into two separate phases each of which is enriched in one polymer. The plant cell wall is a concentrated polymer assembly, and phase separation of the constituent polymers could make an important contribution to its structural organization and functional properties. However, to our knowledge, there ha...
