The most abundant sugars in brown macroalgae are alginate, mannitol, and glucan (glucose polymers in the form of laminarin or cellulose). In the new platform, the alginate polymer is first degraded into oligomers (short fragments) by an alginate lyase secreted by the cells, the gene for which came from the bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp.
