Depending on the substrate, it can be divided into three types: two types (Pectinesterase and polygalacturonase) exist in higher plants and microorganisms, and one type (Pectin
Depolymerase) exists in microorganisms, especially in pathogenic microorganisms that infect plants.

depolymerase," The Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, vol.
Under unfavorable growth conditions Poly AY-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is accumulated intracellular by many bacteria and the principal enzyme for the degradation of PHB is PHB
depolymerase. A number of thermophilic actinomycetes have been screened for PHB degradation on agar plats.
Moreover, a novel poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB)
depolymerase from a thermophilic Streptomyces sp.
Several amphiphilic proteins have been identified to be located on the surface of in vivo PHA granules including PhaC synthase, poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate
depolymerase (PhaZ), and granule-associated protein (PhaP) (44).

Depolymerase Activities, Wheat Straw Degradation and Volatile Fatty Acid Concentrations in the Rumen of Gnotobiotically-reared Lambs.
[12] found that P(3HB-co-3HV) degraded faster than P(3HB) in a medium with PHA
depolymerase. However, Boyandin et al.
