Abstract
A gene, alg7D, from Saccharophagus degradans, coding for a putative alginate lyase belonging to the family of polysaccharide lyase-7, was overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The properties of the recombinant Alg7D were characterized. The enzyme endolytically depolymerized alginate by β-elimination into oligo-alginates with degrees of polymerization of 2-5. Its activity was maximal at 50°C and pH 7 and was slightly increased in the presence of Na(+). The K(M), V(max), k(cat), and k(cat)/K(M) values were: 3 mg ml(-1), 6.2 U mg(-1), 1.9 × 10(-2) s(-1), and 6.3 × 10(-3) mg(-1 )ml s(-1), respectively.
