Bacterial alginate metabolism: an important pathway for bioconversion of brown algae

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2021
Brown macroalgae have attracted great attention as an alternative feedstock for biorefining. Although direct conversion of ethanol from alginates (major components of brown macroalgae cell walls) is not amenable for industrial production, significant ...

Effect of Chemical Degradation of Sodium Alginate on Capsaicin Encapsulation

Molecules, 2023
Capsaicin is known as an oily extract of paprika that is characterized by pungent taste and bioactivity. It also may cause irritation to the mouth and stomach which is why is so important to immobilize capsaicin on a carrier to prevent it. The usage of alginate oligomers, which has an antioxidant potential compared to alginate, is of benefit because it

Characterization of Alginate Utilization Strategy in a Novel Marine Bacteroidetes: Insights from Roseihalotalea indica gen. nov. sp. nov. TK19036^T

Marine Drugs
Alginate, a major polysaccharide in brown algae, is vital for the carbon cycling of the ocean ecosystem and holds promise for biotechnological applications. Marine Bacteroidetes, known for the ability to degrade complex polysaccharides, play an important

Bacterial community structure and predicted alginate metabolic pathway in an alginate-degrading bacterial consortium [PDF]

Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering, 2016
Methane fermentation is one of the effective approaches for utilization of brown algae; however, this process is limited by the microbial capability to degrade alginate, a main polysaccharide found in these algae. Despite its potential, little is known about anaerobic microbial degradation of alginate. Here we constructed a bacterial consortium able to

Sustainable alginate lyases catalyzed degradation of bio-based carbohydrates

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2022
Alginate is a water-soluble and acidic polysaccharide derived from the cell wall and intercellular substance of brown algae. It is widely distributed in brown algae, such as Laminaria, Sargassum, and Macrocystis, etc.

Biochemical Characteristics and Variable Alginate-Degrading Modes of a Novel Bifunctional Endolytic Alginate Lyase [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2017
ABSTRACT Bifunctional alginate lyases can efficiently degrade alginate comprised of mannuronate (M) and guluronate (G), but their substrate-degrading modes have not been thoroughly elucidated to date. In this study, we present Aly1 as a novel bifunctional endolytic alginate lyase of the genus Flammeovirga .

Chemical enhancement of footwear impressions in blood deposited on fabric - Evaluating the use of alginate casting materials followed by chemical enhancement [PDF]

, 2010
Most footwear marks made in blood on a surface such as fabric tend to be enhanced in situ rather than physically recovered using a lifting technique prior to enhancement.

Degradation and Utilization of Alginate by Marine Pseudoalteromonas : a Review

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2021
Alginate, which is mainly produced by brown algae and decomposed by heterotrophic bacteria, is an important marine organic carbon source. The genus Pseudoalteromonas contains diverse forms of heterotrophic bacteria that are widely distributed in marine environments and are an important group in alginate degradation.
