| Research Abstract |
A novel system for the production of glucuronic acid by using the combination of TEMPO-mediated oxidation of glucans, such as starch and curdlan, and glucuronan degrading enzymes was investigated. A bacterial strain, having the ability to degrade (1→3)-β-polyglucuronate was isolated from soil, and identified as Paenibacillus sp. Hydrolytic enzyme activity, which was highly specific to (1→3)-β-polyglucuronate, was detected in the cell-free extract.
