Cloning of alginate lyase gene (alxM) and expression in Escherichia coli.
AUTOR(ES)
Brown, B J
RESUMO
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.
