PCT No. PCT/EP93/03704 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 17, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 17, 1994 PCT Filed Dec. 24, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/14966 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 7, 1994The present invention discloses a DNA sequence encoding the exo-polygalacturonase gene form Aspergillus. Specifically the Aspergillus tubigensis exo-polygalacturonase gene is cloned and expressed. The invention relates to vectors comprising the exo-polygalacturonase coding sequence and to host cells transformed with such vectors. The invention further relates to the production of recombinant exo-polygalacturonase and the use of this protein.
