followed.<br />

In the first category assays m<strong>in</strong>eral base medium prepared as per the<br />

composition described under section 2.2.3.was supplemented with 0.2%<br />

pect<strong>in</strong> (BDH)(apple pect<strong>in</strong> dimethylated at pH 8.6)dispensed <strong>in</strong>to culture<br />

tubes at 3ml aliquots autoclaved at 10 lbs for lOm<strong>in</strong>.The tubes were<br />

<strong>in</strong>oculated from freshly grown culture <strong>in</strong> nutrient agar supplemented with<br />

2% NaCI and <strong>in</strong>cubated for 7 days at 28±0.4°C .The resultant turbidity was<br />

considered the capability <strong>of</strong> the organisms to utilize pect<strong>in</strong> as the sole<br />

source <strong>of</strong>carbon and energy.<br />

The medium employed for exam<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g pect<strong>in</strong>olytic property through<br />
