A repertoire of alginate lyases in the alginate polysaccharide utilization loci of marine bacterium Wenyingzhuangia fucanilytica: biochemical properties and action pattern

Alginate lyases are important tools for alginate biodegradation and oligosaccharide production, which have great potential in food and biofuel fields. The alginate polysaccharide utilization loci (PUL) typically encode a series of alginate lyases with a synergistic action pattern. Exploring valuable alginate lyases and revealing the synergistic effect of enzymes in the PUL is of great significance.
