Update on Marine Carbohydrate Hydrolyzing Enzymes: Biotechnological Applications.
TL;DR: 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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine Polysaccharides: Occurrence, Enzymatic Degradation and Utilization.
TL;DR: Recently, considerable progress was made in the discovery of highly specific carbohydrate-active enzymes able to decompose complex marine carbohydrates such as carrageenan, laminarin, agar, porphyran and ulvan as mentioned in this paper.
