Oxidative degradation of chitin, initiated by lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs),
contributes to microbial bioconversion of crystalline chitin, the second most abundant …

In recent years, marine macroalgae with extensive biomass have attracted the attention of
researchers worldwide. Furthermore, algal polysaccharides have been widely studied in the …

Alginate, a kind of linear acidic polysaccharide, consists of α-L-guluronate (G) and β-D-
mannuronate (M). Both alginate and its degradation products (alginate oligosaccharides) …

Algal polysaccharides are an important bacterial nutrient source and central component of
marine food webs. However, cellular and ecological aspects concerning the bacterial …

Pseudoalteromonas is a globally distributed marine-associated genus that can be found in a
broad range of aquatic environments, including in association with macroalgal surfaces …

Bacteria and yeast are being intensively used to produce biofuels and high-added-value
products by using plant biomass derivatives as substrates. The number of microorganisms …

The degradation of high molecular weight organic matter (HMWOM) is a core process of
oceanic carbon cycle, which is determined by the activity of microbial communities harboring …

Marine bacteria play important roles in the degradation and cycling of algal polysaccharides.
