Abstract
The fungi, Rhizoctonia solani, Bipolaris halodes, and Pestalotia palmarum, found constantly associated with diseased coconut palms, could grow in a medium containing pectin as the sole carbon source and also utilize the substrate. All the three organisms elaborated pectin methyl esterase, polygalacturonase and pectin trans-eliminase in culture filtrates, but in variable quantities.
