Pectinase from aspergillus niger

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States, Germany

Pectinase from Aspergillus niger is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of pectin, a complex polysaccharide found in the cell walls of plants. It is derived from the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger. Pectinase hydrolyzes the glycosidic bonds in pectin, which can be used in various industrial processes, such as fruit juice clarification, wine production, and textile processing.

Stem material from wild‐type and pC4H::schl::qsuB‐1 plants was extracted and ball‐milled for 3 h per 500 mg of sample (in 10 min on/10 min off cycles) using a PM100 ball mill (Retsch, Newtown, PA, USA) vibrating at 600 rpm in zirconium dioxide vessels (50 mL) containing ZrO2 ball bearings (10 × 10 mm). Ball‐milled walls were digested four times over 3 days at 50 °C with the polysaccharidases Cellic CTec2 and HTec2 (Novozymes, Davis, CA, USA) and pectinase from Aspergillus niger (Sigma‐Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) in sodium citrate buffer (pH 5.0). The obtained cellulolytic lignin was washed with deionized water and lyophilized overnight.

Root tips were collected from potted plants, pre-treated overnight at 4°C in 2mM 8hydroxyquinoline (BDH Chemicals), and then fixed in 3:1 (v/v) ethanol : acetic acid for 24 hr at 4°C (Bailey & Stace, 1992) . Next, root tips were digested in 10mM citrate buffer containing 25U/ml pectinase from Aspergillus niger (Sigma-Aldrich), 20U/ml cellulase from A. niger (Sigma-Aldrich) and 20 U/ml cellulase 'Onozuka R-10' from Trichoderma viride (Duchefa Biochemie).

Pectin Oligomer Characterization and ABA Study

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The POs with degree of polymerization in the range of 2 to 20 were obtained and characterized according to Vera-Guzmán et al. (2017) . Briefly, commercial pectin (Danisco Mexicana) was dissolved in water (1:45) and adjusted to pH 5. Then, it was hydrolyzed with a pectinase from Aspergillus niger (Sigma, USA) at 23°C for 3 h, stopping the reaction by autoclaving. The solution was dried using a Yamato ADL311S spray dryer to obtain the powdered mixture of POs. The degree of polymerization was determined by anion exchange chromatography with an amperometric pulse detector (HPAEC-PAD) (Dionex, Sunnyvale, CA) and a PD-10 column. The S-abscisic acid (ABA; ProTone ® SG) was purchased from Valent BioSciences Corp. (USA) and used as a control growth regulator substance as demonstrated in previous studies on table grapes (Peppi et al., 2008; Yamamoto et al., 2015) .

Chromosomes of somatic metaphases were observed in root tip squashes obtained from seed germination. Seeds were placed on moisturized fi lter paper in Petri dishes and germinated at room temperature (about 25 ºC). Roots were collected when they reached 2 cm in length and were immediately pretreated with p-dichlorobenzene saturated solution for 3 h at room temperature and then fi xed in Farmer solution (absolute ethanol : glacial acetic acid, 3 : 1) for a minimum of 12 h at 4 ºC. Somatic chromosome spreads were prepared following the procedure described by Schwarzacher et al. (1980) . Root tips were macerated in 2% (m/v) cellulase (Onozuka R-10 from Trichoderma viridae; Serva, Heidelberg, Germany) plus 10% (v/v) pectinase (from Aspergillus niger; Sigma, St. Louis, Missouri, USA), dissolved in 40% glycerol in 0.01 mol/L citric acid/sodium citrate buffer, pH 4.8, at 37 ºC for 2 h, and then squashed in 45% acetic acid. After removal of the coverslip with CO 2 , slides were air dried, incubated for 1-2 days at room temperature, and then kept at 4 ºC until use.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
