Apart from plant, microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi are currently well known to be able to hydrolyze pectic substances like pectin, protopectin and pectic acids, thanks to a various forms of pectinolytic enzymes. These enzymes have been intensively used in various fields. The present review is focused mainly on microbial pectinolytic enzymes.
