Catenovulum agarivorans DS-2 Genome sequencing and assembly. Catenovulum agarivorans DS-2

The strain can degrade the agar, be used in the preparation of oligosaccharides. Some oligosaccharides are continually found to be of valuable pharmacological activities in the development of drugs. Antitumor, antiviral, anticoagulant and immunomodulate activities of low molecular agar have been reported. Agar not only can be used to prepare oligosaccharides, but also help to determine the structures of agar and obtain alga protoplast.
