The aim of this study was to isolate
pectinolytic bacteria from fermented banana and orange peels. The bacterial
isolates were identified using standard biochemical method.
The bacteria isolates
were screened on pectin agar plates. All the isolates showed pectinolytic
activity in terms of making zone surrounding their colony on pectin agar
medium.
Pectinase activity was determined by
dinitrosalicylic (DNS) acid method while protein concentration in the
fermentation broth was quantified by Lowry method.
