The identification of pectinolytic enzymes from two strains of Lachnospira multiparus grown on media containing pectin with differing degrees of methylation as the carbon source was investigated. Both pectinesterase and lyase activity were determined but there was no evidence of polygalacturonase being present as either an extracellular or intracellular enzyme.
