An agar-hydrolyzing marine bacterium, strain GNUM08120, was isolated from Sargassum fulvellum collected from Yeongil bay of East Sea of Korea. The isolate was Gram-negative, aerobic, motile with single polar flagellum, and grew at 1-10% NaCl, pH 5.0-8.0, and $15-37^{\circ}C$. G+C content and the predominant respiratory quinone were 46.13 mol% and Q-8, respectively. The major cellular fatty acids were Summed feature 3 (24.5%), $C_{16:0}$ (21.7%), and $C_{18:1}{\omega}7c$ (12.5%). Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and DNA-DNA hybridization analyses, strain GNUM08120 was identified as a novel subspecies of Alteromonas macleodii, designated Alteromonas macleodii subsp. GNUM08120. Production of agarase by strain GNUM08120 was likely repressed by the effect of carbon catabolite repression caused by glucose. The crude agarase prepared from 12-h culture broth of strain GNUM08120 exhibited an optimum pH and temperature for agarase activity at 7.0 and $40^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crude enzyme produced (neo)agarobiose, (neo)agarotetraose, and (neo)agarohexaose as the hydrolyzed product of agarose.

Enzymatic hydrolysate of porphyran from Porphyra yezoensis was prepared by treatment with ${\beta}$-agarase. The hydrolysate was fractioned into molecular sizes of <3, 3-30, and 30-300 kDa using an ultrafiltration membrane. The membrane fractions were further separated into neutral and anionic fractions using Dowex $1{\times}8$ ion exchange chromatography. After hydrolysis of porphyran with ${\beta}$-agarase, 23.2% of the starting porphyran was recovered as a neutral fraction of low-molecular weight (<3 kDa), and 28.9% remained as an enzyme-resistant anionic fraction of high molecular weight (>300 kDa). Desulfation of porphyran and $^{13}C$-NMR analysis of the anionic fraction of low molecular weight (<3 kDa) showed that the anionic fraction has a backbone consisting of 3-linked ${\beta}$-D-galactose units alternating with either 4-linked a-L-galactose 6-sulfate or 3, 6-anhydro-a-L-galactose units. These results indicate that porphryan is a copolymer of two moieties, about 25% of which are composed of neoagarose moieties and 75% as anionic moieties.

An agar-degrading Agarivorans sp. AG17 strain was isolated from the red seaweed Grateloupia filicina collected from Jeju Island. A beta-agarase gene from Agarivorans sp. AG17 was cloned and designated as agrA. agrA has a 2,985 bp coding region encoding 995 amino acids and was classified into the glycoside hydrolase family (GHF)-50. Predicted molecular mass of the mature protein was 105 kDa. His-tagged agrA was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified as a fusion protein. The enzyme showed 158.8 unit/mg specific activity (optimum temperature at $65^{\circ}C$ and pH 5.5 in acetate buffer) with unique biochemical properties (high thermal and pH stabilities). Enzyme produced neoagarohexaose, neoagarotetraose and neoagarobiose by degrading agar, and hydrolyzed neoagaro-oligosaccharides were biologically active. Hence the purified enzyme has potential for use in industrial applications such as the development of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

대한민국 대천 해수로부터 agarase를 생산하는 균주 H9을 분리하였다. 본 균주는 16S rRNA 염기 염기서열 분석결과로부터 Pseudoalteromonas espejiana NCIMB2127^T (98.98%), Pseudoalteromonas carrageenovora ATCC12662^T (98.78%), Pseudoalteromonas atlantica IAM12927^T (98.64%), Pseudoalteromonas issachenkonii KMM3549^T (98.63%) 등과 높은 상동성을 보였다. 균주 H9은 genomic DNA 내 G+C 농도가 41.56%이고 주요 퀴논으로 quinone-8을 포함하고 있다. 균주 H9의 주요 지방산으로 C_16:1ω7c (34.3%), C_16:0 (23.72%), C_18:1ω7c (13.64%) 등이 포함되었다. 이러한 유전적, 생리적 특성에 따라 균주 H9은 Pseudoalteromonas 속의 균으로 분류하여 Pseudoalteromonas sp. H9으로 명명하였다. 균주 H9이 세포외부로 분비하는 총 agarase는 40-45℃와 pH 7.0-8.0의 조건에서 높은 효소 활성을 갖으며, agarose를 분해하여 (neo)agarotetraose와 (neo)agarohexaose를 생산하였다. 균주 H9은 한천분해를 위해 유용하게 사용될 수 있으며, 다양한 생리활성을 갖는 (neo)agarooligosaccharide는 기능성 식품, 화장품 등의 산업에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

제주도 동북해역의 해수에서 한천분해활성을 보어는 해양성 세균을 분리하였으며 16S rDNA유전자 염기서열분석과 형태학적, 배양적 및 생화학적 특징을 조사하여 해양기원의 Agarivorans 속에 속하는 균주임을 확인하고 Agarivorans sp. JA-1으로 명명하였다. Agarivorans sp. JA-1이 생성하는 한천 분해효소(agarase)는 한천의 존재유무에 상관없이 발현되며 성장의존성인 것으로 확인되었고 효소활성을 위한 최적 pH는 pH 8.04 (50 mM glycine NaOH 완충용액)이고 최적 온도는 $40^{\circ}C$로 나타났다. 한천분해효소는 기능성올리고당 생산이 가능한 베타-한천분해효소이며 내열성을 보여 $60^{\circ}C$까지 $80\%$ 이상 그리고 $80^{\circ}C$까지 $70\%$의 잔존활성을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 분리한 Agarivorans sp. JA-1 균주가 나타내는 한천분해효소를 이용하여 $40^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 액체상태로 있는 한천을 이용한 기능성올리고당 생산에 유용한 것으로 생각되었다.

An agar-degrading bacterium, designated as the GNUM08123 strain, was isolated from samples of red algae collected from the Yongil Bay near East Sea, Korea. The isolated GNUM08123 strain was gram-negative, aerobic, motile, and beige-pigmented, with $C_{16:0}$ (25.9%) and summed feature 3 (comprising $C_{16:1}{\omega}7c/iso-C_{15:0}2-OH$, 34.4%) as its major cellular fatty acids. A similarity search based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that it belonged to class Gammaproteobacteria and shared 97.7% similarity with the type strain Vibrio chagasii $R-3712^T$. The DNA G+C content of strain $GNUM08123^T$ was 46.9 mol%. The major isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone-8. The results of DNA-DNA relatedness and 16S rRNA sequence similarity analyses, in addition to its phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, suggest that strain GNUM08123 is a novel species within genus Vibrio, designated as Vibrio sp. GNUM08123. Agarase production by strain GNUM08123 was induced by agar and sucrose, but was repressed probably owing to carbon catabolite repression by glucose and maltose.
