Abstrakt: Twenty-five strains of epiphytic marine bacteria isolated from the brown algae Fucus evanescens and Chorda filum and fifty-three bacteria isolated from the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus were screened for fucoidanases using fucoidans prepared from the brown algae F. evanescens, Laminaria cichorioides, and L. japonica. Eighteen bacterial epiphytes and thirty-eight bacterial isolates from the sea cucumber were found to contain fucoidanases, which were able to hydrolyze either all of the fucoidans studied or some of them. Bacteria of the genera Cytophaga and Alteromonas/Pseudoalteromonas exhibited the highest fucoidanase activities, which, however, did not exceed the activity of fucoidanases from the already known sources.
