The endo-polygalacturonase II from Aspergillus niger has been crystallized from an ammonium sulfate solution by the hanging drop method. The crystals belong to the monoclinic space group P2(1), with cell dimensions a = 69.6 A, b = 152.6 A, c = 74.0 A and beta = 91.2 degrees with four molecules per asymmetric unit. The crystals diffract to at least 2.8 A resolution and are suitable for X-ray analysis.

The endo-polygalacturonase D (PgaD) from Aspergillus niger JL15 was recombinantly expressed in Escherichia coli BL21, exhibiting an optimal activity at 55 °C and pH 4.0. Hydrolysis products of citrus pectin by recombinant PgaD included galacturonic acid (GalA), digalacturonic acid (GalA2), trigalacturonic acid (GalA3), and tetragalacturonic acid (GalA4).

This study focuses on the isolation, purification, and characterisation of -polygalacturonase II from FAT43, particularly emphasising its potential applications in the fruit juice industry. A comprehensive screening test revealed the temporal dynamics of -polygalacturonase production during a 96-hour fermentation process. The purification process, involving ammonium sulfate and ethanol precipitation followed by ion-exchange chromatography, resulted in a 3.
