Fig. 5From: Cost-effective production of alginate oligosaccharides from Laminaria japonica roots by Pseudoalteromonas agarivorans A3Optimization of the enzymatic hydrolysis parameters of L. japonica roots by the fermentation broth supernatant (FBS) of strain A3. A effect of E/S ratio on the hydrolysis efficiency. L. japonica roots were hydrolyzed by the FBS with different E/S ratios (0, 0.05, 0.15, 0.3125, 0.625, 6.25, 12.5, 25, 37.5, 50 or 62.5 U/g) at 45 °C. B effect of hydrolysis time on the hydrolysis efficiency. L. japonica roots were hydrolyzed by the FBS from 5 min to 9 h with an E/S ratio of 25 U/g. C effect of hydrolysis temperature on the hydrolysis efficiency. Hydrolysis of the FBS on L. japonica roots was performed at different temperatures (10, 20, 30, 40, 45, 50, 60 or 70 °C) with an E/S ratio of 25 U/g for 3 hBack to article page
