An acidic polygalacturonase (PG) secreted by Rhizopus oryzae MTCC-1987 in submerged fermentation condition has been purified to electrophoretic homogeneity using ammonium sulphate fractionation and anion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose. The purified enzyme gave a single protein band in sodium dodecyl sulphatepolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis with a molecular mass corresponding to 75.5 kDa. The Km and kcat values of the PG were 2.7 mg/mL and 2.23 × 103 s−1, respectively, using citrus polygalacturonic acid as the substrate. The optimum pH of the purified PG was 5.0 and it does not loose activity appreciably if left for 24 hours in the pH range from 5.0 to 12.0. The optimum temperature of purified enzyme was 50°C and the enzyme does not loose activity below 30°C if exposed for two hours. The purified enzyme showed complete inhibition with 1 mM Ag+, Hg2+ and KMnO4, while it was stimulated to some extent by Co2+. The purified PG exhibited retting of Crotalaria juncea fibre in absence of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid.
