Cloning of alginate lyase gene (alxM) and expression in Escherichia coli

B J Brown et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1991 Jun.

Abstract

The alxM gene encoding a D-mannuronan-specific alginate lyase has been cloned from a marine bacterium isolated as an epiphyte on the brown alga, Sargassum fluitans. Expression of this gene in Escherichia coli provides a source of this enzyme for probing alginate structure and modifying the mannuronan-rich alginate polymers produced by bacterial pathogens.
