Characterization of two Paenibacillus amylolyticus strain 27C64 pectate lyases with activity on highly methylated pectin.

ABSTRACT: Two pectate lyases were identified from Paenibacillus amylolyticus 27C64; both enzymes demonstrated activity on methylated pectin in addition to polygalacturonic acid. PelA is in a subclass of the pectate lyase family III. PelB shows some features of pectate lyase family I but is highly divergent.
