A mannuronan C-5-epimerase from the soil bacterium Azotobacter vinelundii has been highly purified and characterised. The enzyme is a single polypeptide chain with a mobility in gradient and SDS electrophoresis corresponding to a mol. wt. of 122,000; it has a p1 of 4, highest activity at pH 7.0, and
