Alginate Lyases: Sources, Mechanism of Activity and Potencial Application
Abstract: Alginate lyases are
group of enzymes which catalyze depolymerization of alginate into
oligosaccharides. Alginate lyase have been widely used in many applications
such as in production of bioactive oligosaccharides, control of polysaccharide
rheological properties, and polysaccharide structure analysis. The products of
alginate lyase, polysaccharide structure analysis, alginate oligosaccharides
(AOS) have many biological activities including act as prebiotics, immune
modulator, anticoagulation, antioxidant, anticancer, growth promoting
activities, promote production of antibiotics and ethanol. In relation to the
importance of alginate lyases, their potential aplications and prospect in
development of new bioactive products, we present review of the enzymes, sources,
mechanism of activity and potential applications. This paper also discussed
some new biological engineering in alginate lyase production.
