Alginate that was purified from the fermentation solution of marine bacteria Vibro sp. 510 under specific reaction conditions was hydrolyzed by alginate lyase. Seven oligosaccharides, including di-, tri- and tetrasaccharides, were isolated through low-pressure, gel-permeation chromatography (LP-GPC) and semipreparative strong-anion exchange (SAX) fast-protein liquid chromatography (FPLC). The oligosaccharide structures were elucidated based on ESIMS and 2D NMR spectral analysis. The hydrolytic specificity of this alginate lyase to alginate is discussed.
