Marine algae produce complex polysaccharides, which can be degraded by marine
heterotrophic bacteria utilizing carbohydrate-active enzymes. The red algal polysaccharide …

Anhydro-l-galactose (AHG) is a rare sugar found in red macroalgae. The key metabolic
steps in AHG catabolism involve its oxidation into 3, 6-anhydrogalactonate (AHGA), followed …

Key message The study shows the biochemical and enzymatic divergence between the two
aldehyde-alcohol dehydrogenases of the alga Polytomella sp., shedding light on novel …

Euglena gracilis is a freshwater free‐living organism able to grow with ethanol as carbon
source; to facilitate this metabolism several alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activities have …

anhydro-α-L-galactose (L-AHG) is one of the main monosaccharide constituents of red
macroalgae. In the recently discovered bacterial L-AHG catabolic pathway, L-AHG is first …

Formaldehyde is a toxic metabolite that is formed in large quantities during bacterial
utilization of the methoxy sugar 6‐O‐methyl‐d‐galactose, an abundant monosaccharide in …

Haloarchaeal alcohol dehydrogenases are exciting biocatalysts with potential industrial
applications. In this study, two alcohol dehydrogenase enzymes from the extremely …

The complete hydrolysis of agarose produces its monomeric sugars, D-galactose and 3, 6-
anhydro-Lgalactose (L-AnG). Although enzymes of D-galactose metabolism are well …

Sugar O-methylation shields algal polysaccharides against microbial hydrolytic enzymes.
Here, we describe cytochrome P450 monooxygenases from marine bacteria that, together …

Alkanes produced by microorganisms are expected to be an alternative to fossil fuels as an
energy source. Microbial synthesis of alkanes involves the formation of fatty aldehydes via …
