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 ...

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

Continuous Degradation of Sodium Alginate in Bioreactor Using Immobilized Alginate Lyase.
Food Science and Technology International, Tokyo, 1998 The enzymatic degradation of sodium alginate was continuously carried out to effectively produce alginate oligosaccharides using immobilized alginate lyase in a CSTR (continuous stirred tank reactor) system. The alginate lyase was immobilized onto the chitosan beads and the reaction was operated at an initial alginate concentration of 10 g l−1 at 35°C ...
