Exopolygalacturonate lyase and pectinesterase fromClostridium multifermentans were assayed simultaneously in the same reaction mixture which contained a highly esterified pectin, polymethyl polygalacturonic acid methyl glycoside. Lyase is specific for unesterified galacturonide residues and cannot degrade this substrate in the absence of the esterase. The rate for esterase was twice the rate for lyase throughout the entire course of the combined reaction. Thus, the molar ratio of the two enzyme activities was the same since the product of the lyase is an unsaturated digalacturonic acid containing two free carboxyl groups. Since clostridial exopolygalacturonate lyase is known to degrade polygalacturonate in a linear manner beginning from the reducing ends of polygalacturonate chains, it was apparent that clostridial pectinesterase must hydrolyze methyl groups in highly esterified pectins with an action pattern similar to that of the lyase. Otherwise it would be impossible for the two enzyme rates to have corresponded on the basis of a 2:1 ratio.
