Bacteriophage-encoded depolymerases: their diversity and biotechnological applications [PDF]

, 2016
Bacteriophages (phages), natural enemies of bacteria, can encode enzymes able to degrade polymeric substances. These substances can be found in the bacterial cell surface, such as polysaccharides, or are produced by bacteria when they are living in ...

Characterization of a New Cold-Adapted and Salt-Activated Polysaccharide Lyase family 7 Alginate Lyase from Pseudoalteromonas sp. SM0524

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Marine bacterial alginate lyases play a role in marine alginate degradation and carbon cycling. Although a large number of alginate lyases have been characterized, reports on alginate lyases with special characteristics are still rather less.

Development and validation of a microarray for the investigation of the CAZymes encoded by the human gut microbiome. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Distal gut bacteria play a pivotal role in the digestion of dietary polysaccharides by producing a large number of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) that the host otherwise does not produce.

The O-specific polysaccharide lyase from the phage LKA1 tailspike reduces Pseudomonas virulence [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
AbstractPseudomonas phage LKA1 of the subfamily Autographivirinae encodes a tailspike protein (LKA1gp49) which binds and cleaves B-band LPS (O-specific antigen, OSA) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. The crystal structure of LKA1gp49 catalytic domain consists of a beta-helix, an insertion domain and a C-terminal discoidin-like domain.

Characterization of a New Biofunctional, Exolytic Alginate Lyase from Tamlana sp. s12 with High Catalytic Activity and Cold-Adapted Features

Marine Drugs, 2021
Alginate, a major acidic polysaccharide in brown algae, has attracted great attention as a promising carbon source for biorefinery systems. Alginate lyases, especially exo-type alginate lyase, play a critical role in the biorefinery process.
