Abstract excerpt
The Rhizobium meliloti M5N1CS (NCIMB 40472) mutant strain wich induces nodule formation on alfalfa roots, produces a (1 --> 4)-beta-D-glucuronan partially acetylated. During fermentation under specific conditions, the molecular weight of the polymer decrease, the presence of polysaccharide degrading enzyme was suspected. A glucuronan lyase was identified, this new bacterial lyase produces d.p. 4 oligoglucuronans,...
