Conditions of this experiment included the following: 0.5 mM oligogalacturonate (n = 3 to 8), 1 mM CaCl2, and 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) (for PelA, PelD, and PelL) or 20 mM amino-methyl-propanol–HCl (pH 9.0) (for PelB and PelI) at 37°C. Product analysis was done as described in Materials and Methods. 

b

n, degree of polymerization. 

c

Bond cleavage frequencies are given in percentages. The reducing ends of the oligogalacturonates are printed in bold type.
