Pectinolytic and cellulolytic activities of heat resistant fungi and their macerating effects on mango and African mango

Studies on biodiversity of leaf litter fungi of Central Luzon State University and evaluation of their enzyme producing ability

“…Neosartorya fischeri was also reported to possess cellulase activity. Ugwuanyi and Obeta (1999) disclosed that N. fischeri had the ability to produce cellulase which supported the result of this study. Same is true with the species of Fusarium semitectum, F. acuminatum, and Fusarium sp.…”

Heat resistance of Neosartorya fischeri in various juices

“…These molds are able to cause fruit disintegration due to its ability to produce various pectinolytic and disintegrative enzymes (Ugwuanyi & Obeta, 1999).…”

Two thermophilic fungal pectinases from Neosartorya fischeri P1: Gene cloning, expression, and biochemical characterization

“…With the emerging wave of using renewable plant pectin polysaccharides in addition to cellulose and hemicellulose for biorefinery [2], there is a growing interest in searching for novel biocatalysts for pectin. The thermophilic fungus Neosartorya fischeri is a close relative of Aspergillus known to produce a considerable amount of pectinases [6], and hence represents an excellent source for discovery of novel pectinolytic genes. In the present study, by mining the genome of a sequenced N. fischeri, we cloned two polygalacturonase genes, i.e.…”
