“…A double bond is then formed between nonreducing ends, namely C4 and C5, where the glycosidic bond is located, and an oligomeric oligosaccharide with a 4‐deoxy‐L‐erythro‐hex‐4‐enepyranosyluronate structure is simultaneously produced (Wong, Preston, & Schiller, ). Alginate lyases can be obtained from various sources, such as marine and terrestrial bacteria (Yu, Zhu, Wang, Tan, & Yin, ; Zhu, Ni, Sun, & Yao, ), fungus (Cao et al, ; Singh et al, ), virus (Ichiro et al, ), marine mollusks (Hata et al, ; Rahman, Inoue, Tanaka, & Ojima, ), and algae (Inoue et al, ). They can be classified into two groups, namely, polyG specific (polyG lyase, EC 4.2.2.11) and polyM specific (polyM lyase, EC 4.2.2.3), because of their different effects on substrates (Zhu & Yin, ).…”
