nutritional and pharmacological functions. Due to the low molecular weight and exposure of
more sulfate groups, oligo-fucoidan or fucoidan oligosaccharides have potential for broader
applications. In this research, a novel endo-α-1, 4-L-fucoidanase OUC-FaFcn1 which can
degrade fucoidan into oligo-fucoidan was discovered from the fucoidan-digesting strain
Flavobacterium algicola 12,076. OUC-FaFcn1 belongs to glycoside hydrolases (GH) family …
