Rhizopus oryzae CJ-2114 was selected for its strong polygalacturonase activity among various strains of mold found in soil. It was found that the production of polygalacturonase reached to maximum when the wheat bran medium containing 1% albumin, 1% sorbitol and 0.2% (NH$_4$)$_2$C$_2$O$_4$was cultured for 96 hrs at 3$0^{circ}C$. Polygalacturonase was purified 11.13 fold from Rhizopus oryzae CJ-2114. The purification procedures include ammonium sulfate treatment, gel filtration on Sephadex G-75, G-150 and DEAE-cellulose ion exchange chromatography. Yield of the enzyme purification was 40.3% .Purified enzyme was confirmed as a single band by the polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. When the purified enzyme was applied to SDS-poly-acrylamide gel electrophoresis, the molecular weight was estimated to be 47,000. The amino acid composition indicated relatively high contents of glutamic acid and glyrine.
