Pectinolytic activity of Clostridium thermocellum : its use for anaerobic fermentation of sugar beet pulp

The ability of Clostridium thermocellum to hydrolyse model pectins was demonstrated. The main products were acetate, ethanol and methanol, the same as for sugar beet substrate. Galacturonase and lyase activities were determined in fermentation broths. Accumulation of methanol in the medium indicated...

Zusammenfassung:	The ability of Clostridium thermocellum to hydrolyse model pectins was demonstrated. The main products were acetate, ethanol and methanol, the same as for sugar beet substrate. Galacturonase and lyase activities were determined in fermentation broths. Accumulation of methanol in the medium indicated pectin esterase activity.
