STRAIN OF GLACIECOLA SP. HAVING A AGAR-DECOMPOSITION ACTIVITY AND METHOD OF PRODUCING AGAROOLIGOSACCHARIDES USING THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: A Glaciecola sp. with agar lysis ability and a method for producing agar oligosaccharide using the same are provided to produce various agar oligosaccharide with high added value. CONSTITUTION: A Glaciecola sp. strain SL-12(KCCM 10945P) has excellent agar lysis ability at room temperature and high temperature. The Glaciecola sp. strain SL-12 is isolated from East sea. A biocatalyst contains Glaciecola sp. strain SL-12, culture medium of the strain or concentrate of the medium. An agar oligosaccharide is produced by reacting agar with the biocatalyst.
