Biotechnological potential of an exo-polygalacturonase of the new strain Penicillium janthinellum VI2R3M: biochemical characterization and clarification of fruit juices.

Aims: The aim of this work was to characterize and apply a polygalacturonase of Penicillium janthinellum new strain VI2R3M.

Methods And Results: The polygalacturonase obtained from P. janthinellum VI2R3M was incubated in cultures of passion fruit peel and was partially purified by ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration.
