“…Furthermore, the results demonstrated that Byssochlamys nivea came second in the pectinolytic activity production. These results are consistent with the Yates & Mooney, 23 Chu & Chang, 24 Rice & Beuchat 25 and Taniwaki, 26 they reported that members of the genus Byssochlamys are able to cause fruit disintegration by their ability to produce various pectinolytic and disintegrative enzymes. Pectinolytic enzymes catalyzing the degradation of pectic substances are of great industrial importance.…”

Ten heat resistant fungi, Arthrinium sp., Aspergillus cejpii, A. nidulans, A. spinosus, Byssochlamys nivea, Hamigera avellanea, Talaromyces trachyspermus, T. barcinensis, T. ucrainicus, and Trichoderma asperellum were tested on their ability to produce cellulolytic and pectinolytic enzymes. Except for B. nivea and A. cejpii, all species secreted cellulolytic enzymes in the used cup plate assay. All isolates produced considerable levels of pectinolytic enzymes, when investigated on a liquid pectin medium. The appearance of unexpected blue color in the pectin medium for some species was discussed, but further investigation is required to elucidate this phenomenon.
