The Azotobacter vinelandii mannuronan C5-epimerases: their biological functions and new tools useful for their future in vivo biotechnological application
Alginate, an industrially widely used polysaccharide composed of β-D-mannuronic acid (M) and α-L-guluronic acid (G), is produced by brown algae and certain bacteria (e.g. pseudomonads and Azotobacter vinelandii). The alginate monomers are grouped in blocks of M, G or MG. G-blocks enable the polymer...
