  • Agarase, composition containing the same, and application thereof
    Patent number: 10822602
    Abstract: The present invention provides a ?-agarase, a composition containing the same and applications thereof. The present ?-agarase provides the field a novel alternative and is favorable for the industrial utilities of the hydrolysis products of agarose. Furthermore, the present agarase is particularly modified for heterologous production by prokaryotic expression systems, and thereby is favorable for commercial use.
    Type: Grant
