Isolated agarase enzyme from flavobacterium sp. strain NR19, cloned genes therefor, and expression thereof in transformed host cells

摘要

Novel purified agarase enzymes from Flavobacterium sp. strain NR19 and cloned genes encoding the agarase enzymes are disclosed. Transformed host cells which express the novel agarase enzymes in isolatable quantities are also described. Also disclosed are antibodies specifically reactive with the novel agarases.
