## Abstract Alginate is widely used for encapsulation of cells. Alginate is a linear block copolymer consisting of mannuronic acid (M) and guluronic acid (G). It has been shown that enzymes known as C‐5 epimerases convert M to G in the polymer chain, giving rise to novel alginates with tailored pro

## Abstract Previous work has reported the results of a multidisciplinary effort producing a proof‐of‐concept on the use of pectic polysaccharides in the surface modification of medical devices. This study was designed to learn more about the capability of engineered rhamnogalacturonan‐I (RG‐I) fra
A total of 72 pre-selected strains of 19 species of marine fungi were tested for their ability to decompose sodium alginate, calcium alginate or freshly prepared calcium alginate gel . Active alginate decomposition was evident in 18 strains (25 % of total tested) . These belong to only three differe
