Marine Vibrio sp. 510 was chosen as a parent strain for screening high producers of alginate lyase using the complex mutagenesis of Ethyl Methanesulphonate and UV radiation treatments. The mutant strain Vibrio sp. 510-64 was selected and its alginate lyase activity was increased by 3.87-fold (reaching 46.12 EU/mg) over that of the parent strain. An extracellular alginate lyase was purified from Vibrio sp. 510-64 cultural supernatant by successive fractionation on DEAE Sepharose FF and two steps of Superdex 75. The purified enzyme yielded a single band on SDS-PAGE with the molecular weight of 34.6 kDa. Data of the N-terminal amino acid sequence indicated that this protein might be a novel alginate lyase. The substrate specificity results demonstrated that the alginate lyase had the specificity for poly G block.
