Abstract
Patulin (PAT) is a hazardous mycotoxin frequently occurs in fruit industry. A reusable g-C3N4-SH@KG composite aerogel for PAT removal in a novel "dark adsorption-light regeneration" mode was prepared by thiol(-SH) functionalization and konjac glucomannan (KG) immobilization. The g-C3N4-SH@KG was characterized by SEM, FT-IR, XPS and UV-Vis DRS, and its PAT adsorption and photocatalytic regeneration behaviors and mechanisms were investigated. The g-C3N4-SH@KG exhibited good regeneration performance, maintaining 83% of PAT initial adsorption capacity (0.92 mg/g) after 5 "adsorption-regeneration" cycles. The adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. •OH and h+ generated by photocatalysis were the main substances that degraded PAT into two products and regenerated -SH. The g-C3N4-SH@KG could effectively remove PAT without negative impact on juice quality. The study provided a new strategy for the regeneration of thiol-functionalized PAT adsorbents, and a new idea for the application of non-selective photocatalysis in the control of food contaminations.

Abstract
As an important carbon sink, seaweed cultivation plays a vital role in controlling global climate change. However, most studies have been focused on the seaweed itself, and knowledge of bacterioplankton dynamics in seaweed cultivation activities is still limited. Here, a total of 80 water samples were obtained from a coastal kelp cultivation area and adjacent non-culture area in the seedling and mature stages. The bacterioplankton communities were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA genes, and the microbial genes involving biogeochemical cycles were measured by a high-throughput quantitative PCR (qPCR) chip. Seasonal variations in alpha diversity indices of bacterioplankton were found, and kelp cultivation mitigated this decline in biodiversity from the seedling to the mature stage. Further beta diversity and core taxa analyses revealed that the maintenance of biodiversity was due to kelp cultivation favoring the survival of rare bacteria. Comparisons of gene abundances between coastal water with and without kelp cultivation showed a more powerful capacity of biogeochemical cycles induced by kelp cultivation. More importantly, a positive relationship between bacterial richness and biogeochemical cycling functions was observed in samples with kelp cultivation. Finally, a co-occurrence network and pathway model indicated that the higher bacterioplankton biodiversity in kelp culture areas compared to non-mariculture regions could balance the microbial interactions to regulate biogeochemical cycles and thus enhance the ecosystem functions of kelp cultivation coasts. The findings of this study allow us to better understand the effects of kelp cultivation on coastal ecosystems and provide novel insights into the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functions. IMPORTANCE In this study, we tried to address the effects of seaweed cultivation on the microbial biogeochemical cycles and the underlying relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem functions. We revealed clear enhancement of biogeochemical cycles in the seaweed cultivation areas compared to the non-mariculture coasts at both the beginning and ending of the culture cycle. Moreover, the enhanced biogeochemical cycling functions in the culture areas were found to contribute to the richness and interspecies interactions of bacterioplankton communities. The findings of this study allow us to better understand the effects of seaweed cultivation on coastal ecosystems and provide novel insights into the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functions.

Abstract
L-fucose (Fuc), a monosaccharide with different biological functions in various organisms, exhibits potent anti-obesity effects in obese mice. However, the mechanisms underlying its anti-obesity effects remain largely unknown. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of Fuc on lipid metabolism and insulin signaling in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. We found that Fuc treatment suppressed lipid accumulation during adipocyte differentiation. Additionally, Fuc treatment enhanced the phosphorylation of AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) and its downstream pathways, responsible for the regulation of fatty acid oxidation and lipolysis. Furthermore, Fuc-induced activation of the AMPK pathway was diminished by the AMPK inhibitor Compound C, and Fuc treatment considerably promoted glucose uptake via Akt activation in an insulin-resistant state. These findings provide a basis for elucidating the mechanism underlying the anti-obesity effect of Fuc, which may, in the future, be considered as a therapeutic compound for treating obesity and related diseases.

Abstract
The macroalgae surface allows specific bacterial communities to colonize, resulting in complex biological interactions. In recent years, several researchers have studied the diversity and function of the epiphytic bacteria associated with algal host, but largely these interactions remain underexplored. In the present study we analysed the cultivable diversity and polymer degradation potential of epiphytic bacteria associated with five different marine macroalgae (Sargassum, Ulva, Padina, Dictyota and Pterocladia sp.) sampled from the central west coast of India. Out of the total 360 strains isolated, purified and preserved, about 238 strains were identified through 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and processed for polymer (cellulose, pectin, xylan and starch) degrading activities. Phylogeny placed the strains within the classes Actinobacteria, Bacilli, Alpha-proteobacteria, and Gamma-proteobacteria and clustered them into 45 genera, wherein Vibrio, Bacillus, Pseudoalteromonas, Alteromonas, Staphylococcus and Kocuria spp. were the most abundant with 20 strains identified as potentially novel taxa within the genera Bacillus, Cellulosimicrobium, Gordonia, Marinomonas, Vibrio, Luteimonas and Pseudoalteromonas. In terms of polymer hydrolysis potential, 61.3% had xylanase activity, while 59.7%, 58.8%, and 52.2% had amylase, cellulase, and pectinase activity, respectively. Overall, 75.6% of the strains degraded more than one polysaccharide, 24% degraded all polymers, while nine strains (3.8%) degraded raw sugarcane bagasse. This study showed great potential for seaweed-associated bacteria in the bio-remediation of agro-waste based raw materials, which can be employed in the form of green technology.

Abstract
The cell wall of brown algae contains alginate as a major constituent. This anionic polymer is a composite of β-d-mannuronate (M) and α-l-guluronate (G). Alginate can be degraded into oligosaccharides; both the polymer and its products exhibit antioxidative, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory activities and, hence, find many commercial applications. Alginate is attacked by various enzymes, collectively termed alginate lyases, that degrade glycosidic bonds through β-elimination. Considering the abundance of brown algae in marine ecosystems, alginate is an important source of nutrients for marine organisms, and therefore, alginate lyases play a significant role in marine carbon recycling. Various marine microorganisms, particularly those that thrive in association with brown algae, have been reported as producers of alginate lyases. Conceivably, the marine-derived alginate lyases demonstrate salt tolerance, and many are activated in the presence of salts and, therefore, find applications in the food industry. Therefore, this review summarizes the structural and biochemical features of marine bacterial alginate lyases along with their applications. This comprehensive information can aid in the expansion of future prospects of alginate lyases.

Abstract
Alginate is the main component of brown algae, which is an important primary production in marine ecosystems and represents a huge marine biomass. The efficient utilization of alginate depends on alginate lyases to catalyze the degradation, and remains to be further explored. In this study, 354 strains were isolated from the gut of adult abalones, which mainly feed on brown algae. Among them, 100 alginate-degrading strains were gained and the majority belonged to the Gammaproteobacteria, followed by the Bacteroidetes and Alphaproteobacteria. A marine bacterium, Agarivorans sp. B2Z047, had the strongest degradation ability of alginate with the largest degradation circle and the highest enzyme activity. The optimal alginate lyase production medium of strain B2Z047 was determined as 1.1% sodium alginate, 0.3% yeast extract, 1% NaCl, and 0.1% MgSO4 in artificial seawater (pH 7.0). Cells of strain B2Z047 were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile by flagella, short rod-shaped, and approximately 0.7-0.9 µm width and 1.2-1.9 µm length. The optimal growth conditions were determined to be at 30 °C, pH 7.0-8.0, and in 3% (w/v) NaCl. A total of 12 potential alginate lyase genes were identified through whole genome sequencing and prediction, which belonged to polysaccharide lyase family 6, 7, 17, and 38 (PL6, PL7, PL17, and PL38, respectively). Furthermore, the degradation products of nine alginate lyases were detected, among which Aly38A was the first alginate lyase belonging to the PL38 family that has been found to degrade alginate. The combination of alginate lyases functioning in the alginate-degrading process was further demonstrated by the growth curve and alginate lyase production of strain B2Z047 cultivated with or without sodium alginate, as well as the content changes of total sugar and reducing sugar and the transcript levels of alginate lyase genes. A simplified model was proposed to explain the alginate utilization process of Agarivorans sp. B2Z047.

Abstract
The bacterial strain of Microbulbifer sp. ALW1 has demonstrated visible ability of degrading the cell wall of Laminaria japonica, and biochemical characterization has been performed on some individual enzymes to elucidate its genetic basis. However, it still remains elusive how strain ALW1 successfully breaks down the major cell wall component alginate polysaccharide and colonizes on its marine host. In this study, a mass spectrometry-based quantitative analysis of the extracellular and intracellular proteomes was introduced to elucidate the alginate degradation pathway in ALW1 strain. Mass spectrometry and biochemical assays indicated that strain ALW1 could effectively degrade alginate polysaccharide into disaccharides and trisaccharides within 12 h. Proteome analysis identified 156 and 1,047 proteins exclusively localized in extracellular and intracellular compartments, respectively, with 1,086 protein identities of dual localization. Functional annotation of the identified proteins suggested the involvement of diverse catalytic enzymes and non-catalytic molecules for the cleavage and metabolism of alginate polysaccharide. A simplified pathway was constructed to demonstrate the extracellular digestion, active transport, and intracellular conversion of alginate polysaccharide and its fragmented oligosaccharides, casting a picture of genetic loci controlling alginate catabolism by ALW1 strain. This study aims to provide a guide for utilization and genetic manipulation of the bacterial strain ALW1 for efficient alginate oligosaccharides production by fermentation.

Abstract
Alginate oligosaccharides (AOS) have many biological activities and significant applications in prebiotics, nutritional supplements, and plant growth development. Alginate lyases have unique advantages in the preparation of AOS. However, only a limited number of alginate lyases have been so far reported to have potentials in the preparation of AOS with specific degrees of polymerization. Here, an alginate-degrading strain Pseudoalteromonasarctica M9 was isolated from Sargassum, and five alginate lyases were predicted in its genome. These putative alginate lyases were expressed and their degradation products towards sodium alginate were analyzed. Among them, AlyM2 mainly generated trisaccharides, which accounted for 79.9% in the products. AlyM2 is a PL6 lyase with low sequence identity (≤28.3%) to the characterized alginate lyases and may adopt a distinct catalytic mechanism from the other PL6 alginate lyases based on sequence alignment. AlyM2 is a bifunctional endotype lyase, exhibiting the highest activity at 30 °C, pH 8.0, and 0.5 M NaCl. AlyM2 predominantly produces trisaccharides from homopolymeric M block (PM), homopolymeric G block (PG), or sodium alginate, with a trisaccharide production of 588.4 mg/g from sodium alginate, indicating its promising potential in preparing trisaccharides from these polysaccharides.

Abstract
Rhodobacter sphaeroides is a non-sulfur purple bacterium with great metabolic versatility, capable of producing a variety of valuable compounds that include carotenoids and CoQ10. In order to enhance lycopene production, we deleted the photosynthetic gene cluster repressor ppsR from a lycopene-producing Rb. sphaeroides strain (RL1) constructed in a previous study to break the control of carotenoid synthesis by the oxygen level. Also, lycopene production was further increased by overexpression of the activator prrA. The superior lycopene producer DppsR/OprrA thus obtained had a high growth rate and a lycopene production of 150.15 mg/L with a yield of 21.45 mg/g dry cell weight (DCW) under high oxygen conditions; these values were ≥6.85-fold higher than those of RL1 (19.13 mg/L; 3.32 mg/g DCW). Our findings indicate that elimination of oxygen repression led to more efficient lycopene production by DppsR/OprrA and that its increased productivity under high oxygen conditions makes it a potentially useful strain for industrial-scale lycopene production.

Abstract
Alginate oligosaccharides produced by enzymatic degradation show versatile physiological functions and biological activities. In this study, a new alginate lyase encoding gene alyS02 from Flavobacterium sp. S02 was recombinantly expressed at a high level in Yarrowia lipolytica, with the highest extracellular activity in the supernatant reaching 36.8 ± 2.1 U/mL. AlyS02 was classified in the polysaccharide lyase (PL) family 7. The optimal reaction temperature and pH of this enzyme were 30 °C and 7.6, respectively, indicating that AlyS02 is a cold-adapted enzyme. Interestingly, AlyS02 contained more than 90% enzyme activity at 25 °C, higher than other cold-adapted enzymes. Moreover, AlyS02 is a bifunctional alginate lyase that degrades both polyG and polyM, producing di- and trisaccharides from alginate. These findings suggest that AlyS02 would be a potent tool for the industrial applications.

Biochemical characteristics and molecular mechanism of an exo-type alginate lyase VxAly7D and its use for the preparation of unsaturated monosaccharides. BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR BIOFUELS 2020; 13:99. [PMID: 32514311 PMCID: PMC7268478 DOI: 10.1186/s13068-020-01738-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2020] [Accepted: 05/22/2020] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND As the most abundant polysaccharide in brown algae, alginate has become a promising economical material for bioethanol production. Recently, exo-type alginate lyases have received extensive attention because the unsaturated monosaccharides produced by their degradation of alginate can be easily converted into 4-deoxy-l-erythro-5-hexoseulose uronate (DEH), a promising material for bioethanol production and biorefinery systems. RESULTS In this study, we cloned and characterized an exo-type polysaccharide lyase family 7 (PL7) alginate lyase VxAly7D from the marine bacterium Vibrio xiamenensis QY104. Recombinant VxAly7D was most active at 30 °C and exhibited 21%, 46% and 90% of its highest activity at 0, 10 and 20 °C, respectively. Compared with other exo-type alginate lyases, recombinant VxAly7D was shown to be a bifunctional alginate lyase with higher specific activity towards sodium alginate, polyG and polyM (462.4 ± 0.64, 357.37 ± 0.53 and 441.94 ± 2.46 U/mg, respectively). A total of 13 μg recombinant VxAly7D could convert 3 mg sodium alginate to unsaturated monosaccharides in 1 min with a yield of 37.6%, and the yield reached 95% in 1 h. In addition, the three-dimensional structure of VxAly7D was modelled using the crystal structure of AlyA5 from Zobellia galactanivorans DsijT as the template. The action mode and the end products of the W295A mutant revealed that Trp295 is a key amino acid residue responsible for the exolytic action mode of VxAly7D. CONCLUSION Overall, our results show that VxAly7D is a PL7 exo-type alginate lyase with high activity and a high conversion rate at low/moderate temperatures, which provides a useful enzymatic tool for the development of biofuel production from brown algae and enriches the understanding of the structure and functional relationships of polysaccharide lyases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Bifunctional alginate lyase can efficiently saccharify alginate biomass and prepare functional oligosaccharides of alginate. RESULTS A new BP-2 strain that produces alginate lyase was screened and identified from rotted Sargassum. A new alginate lyase, Alg17B, belonging to the polysaccharide lyase family 17, was isolated and purified from BP-2 fermentation broth by freeze-drying, dialysis, and ion exchange chromatography. The enzymatic properties of the purified lyase were investigated. The molecular weight of Alg17B was approximately 77 kDa, its optimum reaction temperature was 40-45 °C, and its optimum reaction pH was 7.5-8.0. The enzyme was relatively stable at pH 7.0-8.0, with a temperature range of 25-35 °C, and the specific activity of the purified enzyme reached 4036 U/mg. A low Na+ concentration stimulated Alg17B enzyme activity, but Ca2+, Zn2+, and other metal ions inhibited it. Substrate specificity analysis, thin-layer chromatography, and mass spectrometry showed that Alg17B is an alginate lyase that catalyses the hydrolysis of sodium alginate, polymannuronic acid (polyM) and polyguluronic acid to produce monosaccharides and low molecular weight oligosaccharides. Alg17B is also bifunctional, exhibiting both endolytic and exolytic activities toward alginate, and has a wide substrate utilization range with a preference for polyM. CONCLUSIONS Alg17B can be used to saccharify the main carbohydrate, alginate, in the ethanolic production of brown algae fuel as well as in preparing and researching oligosaccharides.

Abstract
Alginate is a marine non-food-competing polysaccharide that has potential applications in biorefinery. Owing to its large size (molecular weight >300,000 Da), alginate cannot pass through the bacterial cell membrane. Therefore, bacteria that utilize alginate are presumed to have an enzyme that degrades extracellular alginate. Recently, Vibrio algivorus sp. SA2T was identified as a novel alginate-decomposing and alginate-utilizing species. However, little is known about the mechanism of alginate degradation and metabolism in this species. To address this issue, we screened the V. algivorus genomic DNA library for genes encoding polysaccharide-decomposing enzymes using a novel double-layer plate screening method and identified alyB as a candidate. Most identified alginate-decomposing enzymes (i.e., alginate lyases) must be concentrated and purified before extracellular alginate depolymerization. AlyB of V. algivorus heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli depolymerized extracellular alginate without requiring concentration or purification. We found seven homologues in the V. algivorus genome (alyB, alyD, oalA, oalB, oalC, dehR, and toaA) that are thought to encode enzymes responsible for alginate transport and metabolism. Introducing these genes into E. coli enabled the cells to assimilate soluble alginate depolymerized by V. algivorus AlyB as the sole carbon source. The alginate was bioconverted into L-lysine (43.3 mg/l) in E. coli strain AJIK01. These findings demonstrate a simple and novel screening method for identifying polysaccharide-degrading enzymes in bacteria and provide a simple alginate biocatalyst and fermentation system with potential applications in industrial biorefinery.

Abstract
As an eco-friendly biocatalyst for alginate hydrolysis, bacteria-derived alginate lyase (AlgL) has been widely used in research and industries to produce oligosaccharides. However, the cost of AlgL enzyme production remains high due to the low expression and difficulty in purification from bacterial cells. In this study we report an effective method to overexpress the Pseudomonas aeruginosa AlgL (paAlgL) enzyme in Pichia pastoris. Fused with a secretory peptide, the recombinant paAlgL was expressed extracellularly and purified from the culture supernatant through a simple process. The purified recombinant enzyme is highly specific for alginate sodium with a maximal activity of 2,440 U/mg. The enzymatic activity remained stable below 45°C and at pH between 4 and 10. The recombinant paAlgL was inhibited by Zn(2+), Cu(2+), and Fe(2+) and promoted by Co(2+) and Ca(2+). Interestingly, we also found that the recombinant paAlgL significantly enhanced the antimicrobial activity of antibiotics ampicillin and kanamycin against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Our results introduce a method for efficient AlgL production, the characterization, and a new feature of the recombinant paAlgL as an enhancer of antibiotics against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract
The effects of allelochemicals on cyanobacterial blooms have been observed for more than 20 years; however, the use of these compounds, usually involving a "direct-added" mode, has clear disadvantages, such as a short activity period or temporarily excessive localized concentration. Here, a simulated-allelopathy mode to facilitate the application of allelochemicals was proposed and tested on Microcystis aeruginosa. The continuous-release beads of 5,4'-dihydroxyflavone (DHF) were constitutive of a polymer matrix and showed a high drug-loading rate (47.18%) and encapsulation efficiency (67.65%) with a theoretical release time of approximately 120 d. Cyanobacterial growth tests showed that the DHF beads had long-term inhibition effects (>30 d), whereas those of "direct-added" DHF to cells lasted a maximum of 10 d. The beads also continuously affected the superoxide dismutase, catalase, and lipid peroxidation of M. aeruginosa. The inhibitory effects of DHF beads on cyanobacterial growth increased as initial cell densities of M. aeruginosa decreased, suggesting that the beads inhibit cyanobacterial activity more effectively in the early bloom phase. Consequently, the anti-cyanobacterial beads represent a novel application mode of allelochemicals with long-term inhibitory effects on cyanobacterial growth. Our study demonstrates that the successful application of allelochemicals offers great potential to control harmful cyanobacterial blooms, especially at the initial stage of development.

Abstract
There is a growing demand for the efficient treatment of seaweed waste. We identified six bacterial strains from the marine environment for the reutilization of brown-seaweed waste, and the most potentially useful strain, Microbacterium oxydans, was chosen and further investigated. Plate assays indicated that this bacterial isolate possessed both alginate lyase and laminarinase activities. The optimal inoculum size, pH, temperature and substrate concentration for the degradation of brown-seaweed polysaccharides by the isolate were as follows: 20% (v v(-1)), pH 6.0, 37 °C, and 5 g L(-1) for alginate and 20% (v v(-1)), pH 6.0, 30 °C, and 10 g L(-1) for laminarin, respectively. During 6 d in culture under the optimal conditions, the isolate produced 0.17 g L(-1) of reducing sugars from alginate with 11.0 U mL(-1) of maximal alginate lyase activity, and 5.11 and 2.88 g L(-1) of reducing sugars and glucose from laminarin, respectively. In particular, a fair amount of laminarin was degraded to glucose (28.8%) due to the isolate's exolytic laminarinase activity. As a result, the reutilization of brown-seaweed waste by this isolate appears to be possible for the production of reducing sugars as a valuable resource. This is the first study to directly demonstrate the ability of M. oxydans to degrade both alginate and laminarin.

A novel Gram-negative, aerobic, psychrotolerant, alkali-tolerant, heterotrophic and dimorphic prosthecate bacterium, designated strain TAR-001T, was isolated from deep-sea floor sediment in Japan. Cells of this strain had a dimorphic life cycle and developed an adhesive stalk at a site not coincident with the centre of the cell pole, and the other type of cell, a swarm cell, had a polar flagellum. Colonies were glossy, viscous and yellowish-white in colour. The temperature, pH and salt concentration range for growth were 2–41 °C, pH 6.5–10.0 and 1–4 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences confirmed that strain TAR-001T belongs to the family
Caulobacteraceae
of the class
Alphaproteobacteria
, and lies between the genus
Brevundimonas
and the genus
Caulobacter
. Levels of similarity between the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain TAR-001T and those of the type strains of
Brevundimonas
species were 93.3–95.7 %; highest sequence similarity was with the type strain of
Brevundimonas diminuta
. Levels of sequence similarity between those of the type strains of
Caulobacter
species were 94.9–96.0 %; highest sequence similarity was with the type strain of
Caulobacter mirabilis
. The G+C content of strain TAR-001T was 67.6 mol%. Q-10 was the major respiratory isoprenoid quinone. The major fatty acids were C18 : 1ω7c and C16 : 0, and the presence of 1,2-di-O-acyl-3-O-[d-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-α-d-glucopyranuronosyl]glycerol suggests strain TAR-001T is more closely to the genus
Brevundimonas
than to the genus
Caulobacter
. The mean DNA–DNA hybridization levels between strain TAR-001T and the type strains of two species of the genus
Brevundimonas
were higher than that of the genus
Caulobacter
. On the basis of polyphasic biological features and the 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison presented here, strain TAR-001T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus
Brevundimonas
, for which the name
Brevundimonas
abyssalis sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is TAR-001T ( = JCM 18150T = CECT 8073T).

Abstract
Strain improvement of Pichia angophorae KCTC 17574 was successfully carried out for bioethanol fermentation of seaweed slurry with high salt concentration. P. angophorae KCTC 17574 was cultured under increasing salinity from five practical salinity unit (psu, ‰) to as high as 100 psu for 723 h. The seaweed, Undaria pinnatifida (sea mustard, Miyuk), was fermented to produce bioethanol using high-salt acclimated yeast. The pretreatment of U. pinnatifida was optimized using thermal acid hydrolysis to obtain a high monosaccharide yield. Optimal pretreatment conditions of 75 mM H(2)SO(4) and 13 % (w/v) slurry at 121 °C for 60 min were determined using response surface methodology. A maximum monosaccharide content of 28.65 g/L and the viscosity of 33.19 cP were obtained. The yeasts cultured under various salinity concentrations were collected and inoculated to the pretreated seaweed slurry after the neutralization using 5 N NaOH. The pretreated slurry was fermented with the inoculation of 0.1 g dcw/L of P. angophorae KCTC 17574 strain obtained at 90 psu. The maximum ethanol concentration of 9.42 g/L with 27 % yield of theoretical case of ethanol production from total carbohydrate of U. pinnatifida was obtained.

Abstract
A bacterial strain, Myt-1, was isolated in Toyama Bay in Toyama Prefecture, Japan. Myt-1 was capable of reducing the thalli of various seaweed species to single cell detritus particles. A 16S rDNA homology search revealed that the closest relative of Myt-1 was Saccharophagus degradans 2-40 (CP000282; 100% similarity), which was first isolated in Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, USA. The Myt-1 strain was capable of degrading more than 10 polysaccharides, almost all of which were also degraded by S. degradans 2-40. Analyses of alginase gene DNA sequence homology, DNA-DNA homology, and zymogram analysis of obtained polysaccharidases suggested that Myt-1 was a new species of Saccharophagus. Thus, Myt-1 is only the second species in this genus, which has contained only one strain and species since 1988, and was tentatively designated Saccharophagus sp. Myt-1. Myt-1 has considerable potential for reducing the volume of seaweed wastes, and for producing functional materials from seaweed substrate.

Abstract
Alginase was purified from Gracilibacillus A7 and evaluated for its ability to produce elicitor-active oligosaccharides. The optimum conditions for the alginase reaction are as follows: temperature, 40 °C; pH, 8.0; alginate content, 0.3-0.7%; and the presence of Na(+) and Mg(2+) metal ions. The degree of polymerization (DP) decreased as the reaction time of the alginase progressed, achieving values of 5.4 and 3.3 after 240 and 300 min, respectively. The relative root length (RRL) of the Brassica campestris L. increased with the addition of oligosaccharides with reduced DP values. The oligosaccharides with lower DP values are effective in reducing the effect of salt stress on the activity of the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and guaiacol peroxidase (POD), and oligosaccharides with moderate DP values can reduce the increase in lipid peroxidation activities (as malondialdehyde content) induced by salt stress. These results suggest that oligosaccharides may act as osmoprotective agents during the plant germination process.

Abstract
Composting of the Undaria pinnatifida (wakame) seaweed was conducted after inoculation with 6×10(8) CFU g(-1)Halomonas sp. AW4 and the alginate-degrading bacterium Gracilibacillus sp. A7. Inoculation with strains A7 and AW4 resulted in 27.8% and 24.7% degradation of U. pinnatifida dry mass after 168 h, whereas only 17.5% degradation occurred in the uninoculated control. The C/N ratio decreased in the A7 and AW4 inoculated compost by 7.0% and 9.2% after 72 h, but increased by 11.5% in the control. Inoculation with A7 resulted in 2.8 times faster degradation of alginate and 1.2 and 1.6 times higher levels of reducing sugars and unsaturated sugars than inoculation with AW4. The compost produced from the inoculation with A7 had low plant toxicity as measured by germination experiment. The results suggest that inoculation of wakame with alginate-degrading bacteria not only shortened the length of composting but also created seaweed compost with good fertilizer qualities.

Abstract
A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore forming, non-motile and moderate halophilic bacteria designated as strain CMC-5 was isolated from decomposing seaweeds by enrichment culture. The growth of strain CMC-5 was assessed in synthetic seawater-based medium containing polysaccharide. The bacterium degraded and utilized agar, alginate, carrageenan, xylan, carboxymethyl cellulose and chitin. The strain was characterized using a polyphasic approach for taxonomic identification. Cellular fatty acid analysis showed the presence of iso-C(15:0) as major fatty acid and significant amounts of iso-C(17:1x9c) and C(18:1x7c). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequence indicated that strain CMC-5 is phylogenetically related to Microbulbifer genus and 99% similar to type strain Microbulbifer elongatus DSM6810T. However in contrast to Microbulbifer elongatus DSM6810T, strain CMC-5 is non-motile, utilizes glucose, galactose, inositol and xylan, does not utilize fructose and succinate nor does it produce H2S. Further growth of bacterial strain CMC-5 was observed when inoculated in seawater-based medium containing sterile pieces of Gracilaria corticata thalli. The bacterial growth was associated with release of reducing sugar in the broth suggesting its role in carbon recycling of polysaccharides from seaweeds in marine ecosystem.
