Popis: | The Rhizobium meliloti M5N1CS (NCIMB 40472) mutant strain wich induces nodule formation on alfalfa roots, produces a (1→4)-β- d -glucuronan partially acetylated. During fermentation under specific conditions, the molecular weight of the polymer decrease, the presence of polysaccharide degrading enzyme was suspected. A glucuronan lyase was identified, this new bacterial lyase produces d.p. 4 oligoglucuronans, substituents (acetates) present on the substrate reduced the enzyme activity. |
