Abstract excerpt
To date, several microorganisms that can metabolize alginate have been characterized. In these microorganisms, a class of enzymes called alginate lyases (Alys) catalyze the depolymerization of alginate into oligomers via an endolytic β-elimination reaction. But it is not clear how these lyases differ on their enzymological functions or their divisions of labor. We focused on three extracellular secretory alginate...
