Özet

Hyper tannase and pectinase-producing yeast Rhodotorula glutinis MP-10 was isolated from persimmon (Diospyros kaki L.) fruits. The main pectinase activity of yeast was exo-polygalacturonase. No pectin methyl esterase and too low pectin lyase activities were detected for this yeast. The maximum exo-activities of tannase and polygalacturonase were determined as 15.2 and 26.9 U/mL for free cells and 19.8 and 28.6 U/mL for immobilized cells, respectively. Immobilized cells could be reused in 13 successive reaction cycles without any loss in the maximum tannase and polygalacturonase activities. Besides, too little decreases in activities of these enzymes were recorded between 14 and 18 cycles. At the end of 18 successive reaction cycles, total 503.1 U/mL of polygalacturonase and 349.6 U/mL of tannase could be produced using the same immobilized cells. This is the first report on the use of free and/or immobilized cells of a microorganism for the co-production of tannase and pectinase.
