Substrate preference and endolytic action of FlAlyA. (A) Substrate preference of FlAlyA. Activity was measured in the reaction medium containing 0.12% (w/v) of sodium alginate (○), poly(M) block (♦), poly(MG) block (▲), or poly(G) block (■) at pH 7.0; (B) Decrease in viscosity of alginate by of FlAlyA. Viscosity of alginate (0.15% (w/v)) was measured with Ostwald’s viscometer at 30 °C and decrease in the viscosity by the addition of FlAlyA at final concentration of 0.003 mg/mL was continuously measured. The progress of degradation reaction by FlAlyA in the same condition was also recorded and shown in the same figure.
