Screening of alginate lyase-excreting microorganisms from the surface of brown algae

Abstract: Alginate lyase is a biocatalyst that degrades alginate to produce oligosaccharides, which have many bioactive functions and could be used as renewable biofuels. Here we report a simple and sensitive plate assay for screening alginate lyase-excreting microorganisms from brown algae. Brown algae Laminaria japonica, Sargassum horneri and Sargassum siliquatrum were cultured in sterile water. Bacteria growing on the surface of seaweeds were identified and their capacity of excreting alginate lyase was analyzed. A t… Show more

“…We isolated strains affiliated with six rare actinobacterial genera – Rhodococcus , Nonomuraeae , Microbispora , Isoptericola , Nocardiopsis , and Microbacterium . Isolates from the latter three genera have also been obtained from macroalgae species, including some from the class Phaeophyceae (Hollants et al, 2013; Martin et al, 2014; Santhi et al, 2014; Wang et al, 2017).…”

“…To establish seaweed as an effective biofertilizer, more in-depth studies are needed to determine the relationship between seaweed fertilizer use and the soil microbial community. In a previous study, we used the identified strain Bacillus litoralis to ferment Sargassum horneri and found that the fermented seaweed fertilizer with alginate oligosaccharides promoted root and seedling growth of tomato (Wang et al, 2016a(Wang et al, , 2017.…”

“… Paenibacillus produces many kinds of extracellular enzymes, for instance, chitosanase [11], glucanase [12], multifunctional cellulase/mannanase/xylanase [13] and other enzymes, which can be used in a wide range of industrial fields. However, only several species in the genus were reported to possess alginate lyase [14–16]. Here we report the isolation and characterization of a novel alginate lyase-excreting species in the genus Paenibacillus , which was isolated from rotten brown alga samples from the South China Sea.…”
