Protopectinase (PPases) are heterologous group of enzymes that degrade pectin from the insoluble protopection which is constituent of the middle lamella and primary cell wall of higher plants by restricted depolymerization. From the previous report[6], enzymatically separated plant cells, which are produced from plant tissues by PPases treatment, showed well-conserved cellular components with their rigid cell wall and this characteristic is applicable to preparation of novel food material. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of medium composition of PPase production from Bacillus subtilis EK11 which was selected as a PPase producer. Various carbon sources and concentrations on PPase production were studied and corn starch at 0.7% was the most effective for production of PPase. Among the nitrogen sources, yeast extract was the most effective for PPase production and the effect of (NH4)2SO4 was notable as inotganic nitrogen source. Inorganic compounds such as KH2PO4, K2HPO4, Na3-citrate.2H2O and MgSO4 were optimized for PPase production. PPase activity was inhibited by the adition of Ba2+ or Zn2+. The optimal medium for PPase production was devised: 0.7% corn starch, 0.3% yeast extract, 1.4% KH2PO4, 0.6% K2HPO4, 0.1% Na3-citrate.2H2O and 0.02% MgSO4. PPase production by using the optimum medium was carried out with shaking cultivation at 37$^{circ}C$. The maximum PPase activity of 256unit/ml could be obtained after the cultivation for 48hrs. The activity was increased about 2.2timesthan the activity, 112 unit/ml, in basal medium.
