Gellan lyases-novel polysaccharide lyases [PDF]
Microbiology, 1994 A number of bacterial strains capable of degrading the bacterial exopolysaccharide gellan have been isolated by standard enrichment procedures. They include several pink-pigmented Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria. A red-pigmented Gram-positive bacillus earlier found to degrade the exopolysaccharide xanthan from Xanthomonas campestris also showed ...

Journal of Fungi, 2021 Alginate is an anionic polysaccharide abundantly present in the cell walls of brown macroalgae. The enzymatic depolymerization is performed solely by alginate lyases (EC 4.2.2.x), categorized as polysaccharide lyases (PLs) belonging to 12 different PL ...

Functional Exploration of the Polysaccharide Lyase Family PL6. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Alginate, the main cell-wall polysaccharide of brown algae, is composed of two residues: mannuronic acid (M-residues) and, its C5-epimer, guluronic acid (G-residues).

Genes for degradation and utilization of uronic acid-containing polysaccharides of a marine bacterium Catenovulum sp. CCB-QB4 [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Background Oligosaccharides from polysaccharides containing uronic acids are known to have many useful bioactivities. Thus, polysaccharide lyases (PLs) and glycoside hydrolases (GHs) involved in producing the oligosaccharides have attracted interest in ...

Biofilm inhibitory effect of alginate lyases on mucoid P. aeruginosa from a cystic fibrosis patient
Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2021 Chronic mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections are a major scourge in cystic fibrosis patients. Mucoid P. aeruginosa displays structured alginate-rich biofilms that are resistant to antibiotics.

Diversity and function of phage encoded depolymerases [PDF]
, 2020 Bacteriophages of the Podoviridae family often exhibit so-called depolymerases as structural components of the virion. These enzymes appear as tail spike proteins (TSPs).

Argininosuccinate lyase deficiency [PDF]
Genetics in Medicine, 2012 The urea cycle consists of six consecutive enzymatic reactions that convert waste nitrogen into urea. Deficiencies of any of these enzymes of the cycle result in urea cycle disorders (UCDs), a group of inborn errors of hepatic metabolism that often result in life-threatening hyperammonemia. Argininosuccinate lyase (ASL) catalyzes the fourth reaction in

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 ...
