Arylsulfatase is a subset of sulfatase which catalyze the hydrolysis of aryl sulfate ester.
Arylsulfatase is widely distributed among microorganisms, mammals and green algae, but …

Microbial sulfatases are important biocatalysts in the marine environment where they play a
key role in the catabolic biotransformation of abundant sulphated algal polysaccharides. The …

Brown macroalgae synthesize large amounts of fucoidans, sulfated fucose-containing
polysaccharides, in the ocean. Fucoidans are of importance for their recently discovered …

In present work we provide the bioinformatic and biochemical characterization of six α-L-
fucosidases that belong to the 29 and 95 families of glycoside hydrolases (GH) from the …

Fucoidans are a heterogenous class of sulfated, fucose-rich, and high molecular weight
polysaccharides derived mainly from brown seaweeds. They have attracted particular …

Sulfated polysaccharides of brown algae, fucoidans, are known for their anticoagulant
properties, similar to animal heparin. Their complex and irregular structure is the main …

Fucoidanases are hydrolytic enzymes that degrade fucoidan to a lower molecular weight
while retaining the side substituent groups of the polymer. Fucoidanases are produced by …

Fucoidans are complex fucose-containing sulfated polysaccharides with pronounced
anticancer effects. Their structure-anticancer activity relationships are difficult to determine …

Oceans possess tremendous diversity in microbial life. The enzymatic machinery that marine
bacteria present is the result of extensive evolution to assist cell survival under the harsh …

Marine sulfated polysaccharides constitute a class of bioactive polymers commonly found in
cell walls of macroalgae. Among these macromolecular substances, fucoidans, ulvans, and …
