This review highlights recent advances in integrating biocatalysis and chemocatalysis in continuous flow to create streamlined, sustainable processes. It examines chemo‐enzymatic cascades combining at least one enzymatic and one chemical step, discusses challenges such as enzyme immobilization, leaching, and reactor clogging, and presents solutions ...

Structure and Polymannuronate Specificity of a Eukaryotic Member of Polysaccharide Lyase Family 14 [PDF]
Alginate is an abundant algal polysaccharide, composed of β-d-mannuronate and its C5 epimer α-l-guluronate, that is a useful biomaterial in cell biology and tissue engineering, with applications in cancer and aging research. The alginate lyase (EC 4.2.2.3) from Aplysia kurodai, AkAly30, is a eukaryotic member of the polysaccharide lyase 14 (PL-14 ...

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.

Variations in Cell Wall-Modifying Enzyme Activities and Physicochemical Properties of Pectin in Kiwifruit during Postharvest Softening [PDF]
In this study, we monitored changes in fruit hardness, cell wall-modifying enzyme activities such as polygalacturonase (PG), pectin methylesterase (PME), pectin lyases (PL) and β-galactosidase (β-Gal), and physiochemical properties of three cell wall ...

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

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.

Polysaccharide breakdown by bacteria requires the activity of enzymes that degrade polymers either intra- or extra-cellularly. The latter mechanism generates a localized pool of breakdown products that are accessible to the enzyme producers themselves as

A Polysaccharide Lyase from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia with a Unique, pH-regulated Substrate Specificity [PDF]
Polysaccharide lyases (PLs) catalyze the depolymerization of anionic polysaccharides via a β-elimination mechanism. PLs also play important roles in microbial pathogenesis, participating in bacterial invasion and toxin spread into the host tissue via degradation of the host extracellular matrix, or in microbial biofilm formation often associated with ...
