oligosaccharides produced by alginase may act as osmoprotective agents during the plant germination process. The relative root length of Brassica campestris L. increases with the addition of oligosaccharides with reduced degrees of polymerization. The oligosaccharides with lower degree of polymerization-values are effective in reducing the effect of salt stress on the activity of the superoxide dismutase and guaiacol peroxidase, and oligosaccharides with moderate degree of polymerization-values can reduce the increase in lipid peroxidation activities induced by salt stress
use of recombinant abalone alginate lyase and beta-1,4-endoglucanase for protoplast isolation from Laminaria japonica. In Laminaria japonica blades pretreated with proteinase K and incubated in artificial seawater containing alginate lyase and beta-1,4-endoglucanase, the protoplast number is increased up to 5000000 protoplasts/g fresh weight. These cells are mostly derived from the epidermal layer rather than the cortical layer. Results suggest that at least three enzymes, alginate lyase, cellulase, and protease, are essential for effective protoplast isolation from Laminaria japonica
enzymatical saccharification of acid pretreated and untreated brown macroalgae, first at pH 7.5, 25°C for 12 h with a blend of recombinant alginate and oligoalginate lyases, then at pH 5.2 using a commercial cellulase cocktail. The use of recombinant alginate lyases and oligoalginate lyases in combination with cellulases increases the release of glucose from untreated seaweed. For saccharification of pretreated algae, only cellulases are needed to achieve high glucose yields

alginate lyase is a promising biocatalyst because of its application in saccharification of alginate for the production of biochemicals. Alg2A can be a good tool for the large-scale preparation of alginate oligosaccharides with high degree of polymerization
