Brown algae, as the main source of alginate, are a type of marine biomass with a very high
output. Alginate, a polysaccharide composed of β-D-mannuronic acid (M) and α-L-guluronic …

Brown macroalgae have attracted great attention as an alternative feedstock for biorefining.
Although direct conversion of ethanol from alginates (major components of brown …

Functional oligosaccharides are a class of low-polymerization sugars with physiological
functions, showing great potential in the fields of food, medicine, and agriculture, with …

Alginate, a kind of linear acidic polysaccharide, consists of α-L-guluronate (G) and β-D-
mannuronate (M). Both alginate and its degradation products (alginate oligosaccharides) …

Alginate lyases play important roles in alginate degradation in the ocean. Although a large
number of alginate lyases have been characterized, little is yet known about those in …

Foodborne pathogens and microbial toxins are the main causes of foodborne illness.
However, trace pathogens and toxins in foods are difficult to detect. Thus, techniques for …

Carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) are the noncatalytic modules that assist functions of
the catalytic modules in carbohydrate-active enzymes, and they are usually discrete …

Bacteria are integral to marine carbon cycling. They transfer organic carbon to higher trophic
levels and remineralise it into inorganic forms. Kelp forests are among the most productive …

G-specific alginate lyases are important tools for alginate fragment biodegradation and
