During the production of pectinases by a strain of Aspergillus niger isolated from rotten lemons, methanol was liberated into the medium due to the cleavage of the pectin molecule used as the carbon source. The methanol was subsequently consumed by the microorganism but neither the synthesis nor the activity of pectinesterase and polygalacturonase was affected. Although not studied in detail, the mechanism involved in the utilization of methanol is similar to that described for methylotrophic yeasts.
在从腐烂柠檬中分离出的黑曲霉菌株生产果胶酶的过程中，由于果胶分子被用作碳源而被裂解，甲醇被释放到培养基中。甲醇随后被微生物消耗，但果胶酯酶和聚半乳糖醛酸酶的合成和活性都没有受到影响。虽然没有详细研究，但甲醇利用的机制类似于甲醇营养酵母所描述的机制。
