Abstract
Seaweed polysaccharides have a wide range of sources and rich content, with various biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anticoagulant, and blood pressure lowering. They can be applied in fields such as food, agriculture, and medicine. However, the poor solubility of macromolecular seaweed polysaccharides limits their further application. Reports have shown that some biological activities of seaweed oligosaccharides are more extensive and superior to that of seaweed polysaccharides. Therefore, reducing the degree of polymerization of polysaccharides will be the key to the high value utilization of seaweed polysaccharide resources. There are three main methods for degrading algal polysaccharides into algal oligosaccharides, physical, chemical and enzymatic degradation. Among them, enzymatic degradation has been a hot research topic in recent years. Various types of algal polysaccharide hydrolases and related glycosidases are powerful tools for the preparation of algal oligosaccharides, including α-agarases, β-agaroses, α-neoagarose hydrolases and β-galactosidases that are related to agar, κ-carrageenases, ι-carrageenases and λ-carrageenases that are related to carrageenan, β-porphyranases that are related to porphyran, funoran hydrolases that are related to funoran, alginate lyases that are related to alginate and ulvan lyases related to ulvan. This paper describes the bioactivities of agar oligosaccharide, carrageenan oligosaccharide, porphyran oligosaccharide, funoran oligosaccharide, alginate oligosaccharide and ulvan oligosaccharide and provides a detailed review of the progress of research on the enzymatic preparation of these six oligosaccharides. At the same time, the problems and challenges faced are presented to guide and improve the preparation and application of algal oligosaccharides in the future.

Abstract
Carrageenan, the major carbohydrate component of some red algae, is an important renewable bioresource with very large annual outputs. Different types of carrageenolytic enzymes in the carrageenan metabolic pathway are potentially valuable for the production of carrageenan oligosaccharides, biofuel, and other chemicals obtained from carrageenan. However, these enzymes are not well-developed for oligosaccharide or biofuel production. For further application, comprehensive knowledge of carrageenolytic enzymes is essential. Therefore, in this review, we first summarize various carrageenolytic enzymes, including the recently discovered β-carrageenase, carrageenan-specific sulfatase, exo-α-3,6-anhydro-D-galactosidase (D-ADAGase), and exo-β-galactosidase (BGase), and describe their enzymatic characteristics. Subsequently, the carrageenan metabolic pathways are systematically presented and applications of carrageenases and carrageenan oligosaccharides are illustrated with examples. Finally, this paper discusses critical aspects that can aid researchers in constructing cascade catalytic systems and engineered microorganisms to efficiently produce carrageenan oligosaccharides or other value-added chemicals through the degradation of carrageenan. Overall, this paper offers a comprehensive overview of carrageenolytic enzymes, providing valuable insights for further exploration and application of these enzymes.

Abstract
In recent years, algal-derived glycans and oligosaccharides have become increasingly important in health applications due to higher bioactivities than plant-derived oligosaccharides. The marine organisms have complex, and highly branched glycans and more reactive groups to elicit greater bioactivities. However, complex and large molecules have limited use in broad commercial applications due to dissolution limitations. In comparison to these, oligosaccharides show better solubility and retain their bioactivities, hence, offering better applications opportunity. Accordingly, efforts are being made to develop a cost-effective method for enzymatic extraction of oligosaccharides from algal polysaccharides and algal biomass. Yet detailed structural characterization of algal-derived glycans is required to produce and characterize the potential biomolecules for improved bioactivity and commercial applications. Some macroalgae and microalgae are being evaluated as in vivo biofactories for efficient clinical trials, which could be very helpful in understanding the therapeutic responses. This review discusses the recent advancements in the production of oligosaccharides from microalgae. It also discusses the bottlenecks of the oligosaccharides research, technological limitations, and probable solutions to these problems. Furthermore, it presents the emerging bioactivities of algal oligosaccharides and their promising potential for possible biotherapeutic application.

Abstract
Marine alkaline protease (MAP) fermentation is a complex multivariable, multi-coupled, and nonlinear process. Some unmeasured parameters will affect the quality of protease. Aiming at the problem that some parameters are difficult to be detected online, a soft sensing modeling method based on improved Krill Herd algorithm RBF neural network (LKH-RBFNN) is proposed in this paper. Based on the multi-parameter RBFNN model, the adaptive RBF neural network algorithm and control law are used to approximate the unknown parameters. The adaptive Levy flight strategy is used to improve the traditional Krill Herd algorithm, improve the global search ability of the algorithm, and avoid falling into local optimization. At the same time, the location update formula of Krill Herd algorithm is improved by using the calculation methods of similarity and agglomeration degree, and the parameters of adaptive RBFNN are optimized to improve its over correction and large amount of calculation. Finally, the soft sensing prediction model of bacterial concentration and relative active enzyme in map process based on LKH-RBFNN is established. The root mean square error and maximum absolute error of this model are 0.938 and 0.569, respectively, which are less than KH-RBFNN and PSO-RBFNN prediction models. It proves that the prediction error of LKH-RBFNN model is smaller and can meet the needs of online prediction of key parameters of map fermentation.

Enzymatic Verification and Comparative Analysis of Carrageenan Metabolism Pathways in Marine Bacterium Flavobacterium algicola. Appl Environ Microbiol 2022; 88:e0025622.

Abstract
Marine bacteria usually contain polysaccharide utilization loci (PUL) for metabolizing red algae polysaccharides. They are of great significance in the carbon cycle of the marine ecosystem, as well as in supporting marine heterotrophic bacterial growth. Here, we described the whole κ-carrageenan (KC), ι-carrageenan (IC), and partial λ-carrageenan (LC) catabolic pathways in a marine Gram-negative bacterium, Flavobacterium algicola, which is involved carrageenan polysaccharide hydrolases, oligosaccharide sulfatases, oligosaccharide glycosidases, and the 3,6-anhydro-d-galactose (d-AHG) utilization-related enzymes harbored in the carrageenan-specific PUL. In the pathways, the KC and IC were hydrolyzed into 4-sugar-unit oligomers by specific glycoside hydrolases. Then, the multifunctional G4S sulfatases would remove their nonreducing ends' G4S sulfate groups, while the ι-neocarratetrose (Nι4) product would further lose the nonreducing end of its DA2S group. Furthermore, the neocarrageenan oligosaccharides (NCOSs) with no G4S and DA2S groups in their nonreducing ends would completely be decomposed into d-Gal and d-AHG. Finally, the released d-AHG would enter the cytoplasmic four-step enzymatic process, and an l-rhamnose-H+ transporter (RhaT) was preliminarily verified for the function for transportation of d-AHG. Moreover, comparative analysis with the reported carrageenan metabolism pathways further implied the diversity of microbial systems for utilizing the red algae carrageenan. IMPORTANCE Carrageenan is the main polysaccharide of red macroalgae and is composed of d-AHG and d-Gal. The carrageenan PUL (CarPUL)-encoded enzymes exist in many marine bacteria for decomposing carrageenan to provide self-growth. Here, the related enzymes in Flavobacterium algicola for metabolizing carrageenan were characterized for describing the catabolic pathways, notably, although the specific polysaccharide hydrolases existed that were like previous studies. A multifunctional G4S sulfatase also existed, which was devoted to the removal of G4S or G2S sulfate groups from three kinds of NCOSs. Additionally, the transformation of three types of carrageenans into two monomers, d-Gal and d-AHG, occurred outside the cell with no periplasmic reactions that existed in previously reported pathways. These results help to clarify the diversity of marine bacteria using macroalgae polysaccharides.

Abstract
Marine macroalgae have a very high carbohydrate content due to complex algal polysaccharides (APS) like agar, alginate, and ulvan in their cell wall. Despite numerous reports on their biomedical properties, their hydrocolloid nature limits their applications. Algal oligosaccharides (AOS), which are hydrolyzed forms of complex APS, are gaining importance due to their low molecular weight, biocompatibility, bioactivities, safety, and solubility in water that makes it a lucrative alternative. The AOS produced through enzymatic hydrolysis using microbial enzymes have far-reaching applications because of its stereospecific nature. Identification and characterization of novel microorganisms producing APS hydrolyzing enzymes are the major bottlenecks for the efficient production of AOS. This review will discuss the marine microbial enzymes identified for AOS production and the bioactive potential of enzymatically produced AOS. This can improve our understanding of the biotechnological potential of microbial enzymes for the production of AOS and facilitate the sustainable utilization of algal biomass. Enzymatically produced AOS are shown to have bioactivities such as antioxidant, antiglycemic, prebiotic, immunomodulation, antiobesity or antihypercholesterolemia, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antimicrobial activity. The myriad of health benefits provided by the AOS is the need of the hour as there is an alarming increase in physiological disorders among a wide range of the global population.

Optimization of Fermentation Conditions for Carrageenase Production by Cellulophaga Species: A Comparative Study. BIOLOGY 2021; 10:biology10100971.

Abstract
Simple Summary Cellulophaga species are rarely studied marine bacteria with the potential for carrageenase production. We examined the carrageenase secretion ability of six bacterial species from the Cellulophaga genus. Among them, C. algicola produced the maximum amount of ι-carrageenase. Most of the bacteria produced their highest quantity of enzymes at 25 °C after 48 h of incubation time. The maximum enzyme production was achieved with the fermentation medium composition of 30 g/L sea salt, 1.4 g/L furcellaran and 3 g/L yeast extract. In addition, the properties of the ultrafiltered ι-carrageenase extracted from C. algicola were studied. Abstract Carrageenases appear in various species of marine bacteria and are widely used for the degradation of carrageenans, the commercially significant sulphated polysaccharides. The carrageenase production ability of six different Cellulophaga species was identified, with ι-carrageenase being the most abundant carrageenolytic enzyme. C. algicola was the most potent strain, followed by C. fucicola and C. geojensis, whereas C. pacifica was the least effective carrageenase producer among the studied strains. The enzyme production was maximized using the one-factor-at-a-time optimization method. The optimal incubation temperature was identified as 25 °C and the incubation time was set as 48 h for all tested species. The optimal medium composition for Cellulophaga strains was determined as 30 g/L sea salt, 1.4 g/L furcellaran, and 3 g/L yeast extract. An ultrafiltered enzyme extracted from C. algicola had the highest activity at around 40 °C. The optimal pH for enzymatic degradation was determined as 7.8, and the enzyme was fairly stable at temperatures up to 40 °C.

Abstract
Carrageenan is a group of important food polysaccharides with high structural heterogeneity. Furcellaran is a typical hybrid carrageenan, which contains the structure consisted of alternative β-carrageenan and κ-carrageenan motifs. Although several furcellaran-hydrolyzing enzymes have been characterized, their specificity for the glycosidic linkage was still unclear. In this study, we cloned, expressed, and characterized a novel GH16_13 furcellaran-hydrolyzing enzyme Cgbk16A_Wf from the marine bacterium Wenyingzhuangia fucanilytica CZ1127. Cgbk16A_Wf exhibited its maximum activity at 50°C and pH 6.0 and showed high thermal stability. The oligosaccharides in enzymatic products were identified by liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It was confirmed that Cgbk16A_Wf specifically cleaves the β-1,4 linkages between β-carrageenan and κ-carrageenan motifs from non-reducing end to reducing end. Considering the structural heterogeneity of carrageenan and for the unambiguous indication of the specificity, we recommended to name the furcellaran-hydrolyzing activity represented by Cgbk16A as “βκ-carrageenase” instead of “furcellaranase”.

Abstract
Global requirement for algal foods is increasing, as they are progressively consumed for its nutrition and health. Macroalgae is a proven source of metabolites, proteins, pigments, bioactive compounds, and algal polysaccharides. The unique polysaccharides such as agar, carrageenan, porphyran, alginate, fucoidan, laminarin, and ulvan are known for its wide range of bioactivities and extensively used for applications from tissue engineering to drug delivery. However, there are few limitations due to its high molecular size, low compatibility, and hydrocolloid nature. Hence, the enzymatically produced algal oligosaccharides have drawn tremendous attention due to its green synthesis, solubility, and lower molecular size. They are reported to have bioactivities including antioxidant, antiglycemic, immunostimulatory, anti-inflammatory, and prebiotic activities, which can be used in the healthcare and nutraceutical industry for the manufacture of functional foods and dietary supplements. However, identification of potential microorganisms, producing polysaccharide hydrolyzing enzymes, remains a major bottle neck for efficient utilization of bioactive algal oligosaccharides. This review summarizes the recent developments in the identification and characterization of microbial enzymes for the production of bioactive algal oligosaccharides. This can improve our understanding of bioactive algal oligosaccharides and pave way for efficient utilization of macroalgae to prevent various chronic diseases.

Abstract
The ι-carrageenan degrading marine bacterium, Cellulophaga baltica, was isolated from the surface of a filamentous red alga Vertebrata fucoides. Maximum ι-carrageenase production was optimized by single-factor experiments. Optimal fermentation conditions were 1.6 g/L furcellaran, 4 g/L yeast extract as carbon sources, 5 g/L sea salt, and 48 h of incubation time at 20 °C. Extracellular ι-carrageenase from the culture supernatant was purified by ultrafiltration, ammonium sulfate precipitation, and finally by anion-exchange chromatography, showed a 26-fold increase in specific activity as compared to that in the crude enzyme. According to the results from SDS-PAGE and HPLC-SEC, the molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 31 kDa. The purified enzyme showed the maximum specific activity of 571 U/mg at 40 °C and pH 7.5-8.0. It maintained 73% of the total activity below 40 °C and 90% of its total activity at pH 7.2. Notably, the enzyme is a cold-adapted ι-carrageenase, which showed 33.4% of the maximum activity at 10 °C. The enzyme was stimulated by Na+, K+, and NH4+, whereas Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe3+, sea salt, and EDTA acted as enzyme inhibitors.

Abstract
κ-Carrageenase (EC3.2.1.83) is a class of glycoside hydrolase, which can be used for hydrolysis of κ-carrageenan to κ-carrageenan oligosaccharides. In this study, a bacterium, identified as Pseudoalteromonas sp. ZDY3 isolated from rotten algae, was capable to degrade κ-carrageenan. The κ-carrageenase produced by Pseudoalteromonas sp. ZDY3 was purified to homogeneity and named as CgkZDY3. The accurate molecular mass of CgkZDY3 was determined through LC-HRMS, and a posttranslational removal of C-terminal end of the protein was discovered. CgkZDY3 had strict hydrolysis specificity to κ-carrageenan, the values of Km and kcat/Km of CgkZDY3 were 3.67 mg mL-1 and 53.0 mL mg-1 s-1, respectively. CgkZDY3 was a cold-adapted κ-carrageenase with excellent storage stability of both the temperature below 35 °C and a wide pH range, and was an endo-type κ-carrageenase with high hydrolysis rate, oligosaccharides with different degrees of polymerization can be obtained by controlling the hydrolysis time, and the final products were κ-neocarrabiose and κ-neocarratetraose. These properties are of great significance for production of κ-carrageenan oligosaccharides with different polymerization degrees under process control.

Abstract
κ-Carrageenase cleaves the β-(1-4) linkages of κ-carrageenan into κ-carrageenan oligosaccharides (κ-COS), which exhibit various biological activities. In this study, a glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 16 κ-carrageenase gene, cgkA, was cloned from the marine bacterium Vibrio sp. SY01 and secretory expressed in a food-grade host, Yarrowia lipolytica. The specific activity of the purified CgkA was 12.5 U/mg. Determination of biochemical properties showed that CgkA was a thermo-tolerant enzyme, and 59.9% of the initial enzyme activity was recovered by immediately placing the sample at 20 °C for 30 min after enzymatic inactivation by boiling for 5 min. The recombinant CgkA was an endo-type enzyme, the main enzymatic product was κ-carradiaose (accounting for 87.6% of total products), and κ-carratetraose was the minimum substrate. Additionally, in vitro and in vivo analyses indicated that enzymatic κ-carradiaose possesses anti-oxidant activity. These features make CgkA as a promising candidate for biotechnological applications in the production of anti-oxidant κ-COS.

Abstract
Two novel Gram-stain-negative, aerobic and non-motile rods bacteria, designated TQ8ST and ZH2ST, were isolated from salt marsh sediment collected from the Tibetan Plateau. Strain TQ8ST was found to grow at 10-40 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 6.0-11.0 (optimum, pH 8.0-9.0) and in the presence of 2-12 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 6-8 %). Strain ZH2ST was found to grow at 15-40 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 7.0-10.0 (optimum pH 9.0) and in the presence of 2-10 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 4-6 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains TQ8ST and ZH2ST shared 99.07 % sequence similarity between each other and were affiliated with the genus Halomonas, sharing 97.48 % and 97.41 % of sequence similarity to their closest neighbour Halomonas sulfidaeris Esulfide1T, respectively. DNA-DNA hybridization analyses showed 61.0 % relatedness between strains TQ8ST and ZH2ST. The average nucleotide identity and the average amino acid identity values between the two genomes were 92.33 and 92.84 %, respectively. The values between the two strains and their close phylogenetic relatives were all below 95 %. The major respiratory quinones of strain TQ8ST were Q-9 and Q-8, while that of ZH2ST was Q-9. The main fatty acids shared by the two strains were C18 : 1 ω6c and/or C18 : 1 ω7c, C16 : 1 ω6c and/or C16 : 1 ω7c, C16 : 0 and C12 : 0 3-OH. Strain ZH2ST can be distinguished from TQ8ST by a higher proportion of C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strains TQ8ST and ZH2ST were 57.20 and 57.14 mol%, respectively. On the basis of phenotypic distinctiveness and phylogenetic divergence, the two isolates are considered to represent two novel species of the genus Halomonas, for which the names Halomonas rituensis sp. nov (type strain TQ8ST=KCTC 62530T=CICC 24572T) and Halomonas zhuhanensis sp. nov (type strain ZH2ST=KCTC 62531T=CICC 24505T) are proposed.

Abstract
The genus Hymenobacter is classified in the family Hymenobacteraceae under the phylum Bacteroidetes. They have been isolated from diverse environments, such as air, soil, and lichen, along with extreme polar environments, including the Arctic and Antarctic regions. The polar regions have attracted intense research interest for the discovery of novel microorganisms and their functions. Analysis of the polysaccharide utilization-related carbohydrate-active enzyme among the two lichen-associated polar organisms Hymenobacter sp. PAMC 26554 and Hymenobacter sp. PAMC 26628 was performed, along with its comparison with the complete genome of the same genus available in the NCBI database. The study was conducted relying on the AZCL screening data for the two polar lichen-associated species. While comparing with eight other complete genomes, differences in polysaccharide preferences based on the isolation environment and biosample source were discovered. All the species showed almost similar percentage of cellulose synthesis and degradation genes. However, the polar lichen-associated microorganism was found to have a high percentage of hemicellulose degradation genes, and less starch and laminarin degradation. The Hymenobacter species with higher number of hemicellulose degradation genes was found to have a lower number of starch and laminarin degradation genes and vice versa, highlighting the differences in polysaccharide utilization among the species.

Abstract
In this study, a Flavobacterium sp. is isolated from natural spring, and identified using molecular techniques. Extracellular and intracellular secondary metabolites are identified using solid phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and ultra performance liquid chromatography. Cytotoxic activity of the extracellular compounds produced by the Flavobacterium sp. and quercetin as the standard are measured using ECV304 human endothelial cells in vitro. Our results show that Flavobacterim sp. isolate has the highest percentage of similarity with Flavobacterium cheonhonense strain ARSA-15 (99%). Quercetin is detected as the major extracellular compound produced by the Flavobacterium sp. Methanol extract of Flavobacterium sp. resulted in a higher cell viability results when compared to DMSO extracts. Computational chemistry approach was used and it has been found that polar solvent (methanol) contributed to higher antioxidant activity. In conclusion, Flavobacterium sp. can be used to produce quercetin for industrial purposes.

Abstract
After generating much interest in the past as an aid in solving structural problems for complex molecules such as polysaccharides, carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes of marine origin still appear as interesting biocatalysts for a range of useful applications in strong interdisciplinary fields such as green chemistry and similar domains. The multifaceted fields in which these enzymes are of interest and the scarce number of original articles in literature prompted us to provide the specialized analysis here reported. General considerations from modern (2016-2017 interval time) review articles are at start of this manuscript; then it is subsequently organized in sections according to particular biopolymers and original research articles are discussed. Literature sources like the Science Direct database with an optimized W/in search, and the Espacenet patent database were used.

Abstract
This study evaluated the ability of a dextranase from a marine bacterium Catenovulum sp. (Cadex) to impede formation of Streptococcus mutans biofilms, a primary pathogen of dental caries, one of the most common human infectious diseases. Cadex was purified 29.6-fold and had a specific activity of 2309 U/mg protein and molecular weight of 75 kDa. Cadex showed maximum activity at pH 8.0 and 40 °C and was stable at temperatures under 30 °C and at pH ranging from 5.0 to 11.0. A metal ion and chemical dependency study showed that Mn2+ and Sr2+ exerted positive effects on Cadex, whereas Cu2+, Fe3+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Ni2+, and Co2+ functioned as inhibitors. Several teeth rinsing product reagents, including carboxybenzene, ethanol, sodium fluoride, and xylitol were found to have no effects on Cadex activity. A substrate specificity study showed that Cadex specifically cleaved the α-1,6 glycosidic bond. Thin layer chromatogram and high-performance liquid chromatography indicated that the main hydrolysis products were isomaltoogligosaccharides. Crystal violet staining and scanning electron microscopy showed that Cadex impeded the formation of S. mutans biofilm to some extent. In conclusion, Cadex from a marine bacterium was shown to be an alkaline and cold-adapted endo-type dextranase suitable for development of a novel marine agent for the treatment of dental caries.
