Algae as an important environment for bacteria – phylogenetic relationships among new bacterial species isolated from algae (2013, background): “…of the bacterial species to decompose major macroalgal polysaccharides was obtained from strain descriptions and recent reviews on agarase, alginase, carrageenase and fucoidan hydrolase activities (see Wong et al. 2000; Michel et al. 2006; Urvantseva et al. 2006; Fu & Kim 2010; Goecke et al. 2010).”
Biofilm Dispersal: Mechanisms, Clinical Implications, and Potential Therapeutic Uses (2010, background): “Alginate lyase, when used in combination with deoxyribonuclease, may be useful for the treatment of alginate polysaccharide build-up in the lungs of individuals with cystic fibrosis (Wong et al., 2000; VanDevanter and Van Dalfsen, 2005).”
