Description
Application Sodium polypectate can be used to sequester metal ions. In fungal cultures, it is used as a carbon source and inducer of polygalacturonases.
Biochem/physiol Actions In land plants, polygalacturonic acids are major components of cell wall polysaccharides （pectins）. Bound polygalacturonase-inhibiting peptides （PGIP） protect pectin from degradation by fungal polygalacturonases.
