Biochemical characterization of a novel ulvan lyase from Pseudoalteromonas sp. strain PLSV. [PDF]
Ulvans, complex polysaccharides found in the ulvales (green seaweed) cell wall, contain predominantly 3-sulfated rhamnose (Rha3S) linked to either d-glucuronic acid, l-iduronic acid or d-xylose.

Marine Polysaccharides: Occurrence, Enzymatic Degradation and Utilization. [PDF]
Algae biomass is a source for many valuable compounds for the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. Especially marine polysaccharides contain rare sugars of interest, but a major bottleneck is access to these sugars. In this mini‐review the common knowledge of marine CAZyme‐based deconstruction of these polysaccharides and the biotechnological ...

Glycomolecules: from "sweet immunity" to "sweet biostimulation"? [PDF]
Abstract Climate changes and environmental contaminants are daunting challenges that require an urgent change from current agricultural practices to sustainable agriculture. Biostimulants are natural solutions that adhere to the principles of organic farming and are believed to have low impacts on the environment and human health.
