Abstract
An enzyme exhibiting pectin methyl esterase activity, wherein the enzyme a) is derived from Aspergillus aculeatus; b) is encoded by Seq ID No:1; or c) has the amino acid sequence of Seq ID No:2 or a sequence which is at least 95% homologous thereto. An enzyme can be used for the modification of plant cell wall components.
