Adaptations of Alteromonas sp. 76-1 to polysaccharide degradation: A CAZyme plasmid for ulvan degradation and two alginolytic systems. Alteromonas sp. 76-1

This study describes the profound potential of Alteromonas sp. 76-1, isolated from a microcosm with alginate-enriched seawater at the Patagonian continental shelf, to degrade the algal polysaccharides alginate and ulvan.
