Characterization of Mannuronan C-5-Epimerase Genes from the Brown Alga Laminaria digitata
Alginate is an industrially important polysaccharide obtained commercially by harvesting brown algae. The final step in alginate biosynthesis, the epimerization of β-1,4-D-mannuronic acid to α-1,4-L-guluronic acid, a structural change that controls the physicochemical properties of the alginate, is...
