Clostridium perfringens, an opportunistic pathogen, produces mu-toxin hyaluronidases including endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidases (Nags) as a virulence invasion factor. To clarify an intrinsic factor for degradation of host extracellular hyaluronan, we focused on hyaluronate lyase (HysA), distinct from endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidases. C.

This study focused on microorganisms present in seawater that decompose brown algae which contain laminarin and alginate.
