Purification and Characterization of a Novel Alginate Lyase from a Marine <i>Streptomyces</i> Species Isolated from Seaweed

Alginate, a natural polysaccharide derived from brown seaweed, is finding multiple applications in biomedicine via its transformation through chemical, physical, and, increasingly, enzymatic processes. In this study a novel alginate lyase, AlyDS44, was purified and characterized from a marine actino...
