One-Step Process for Environment-Friendly Preparation of Agar Oligosaccharides From Gracilaria lemaneiformis by the Action of Flammeovirga sp. OC4

Conclusion A “one-step process” for the preparation of oligosaccharides from G. lemaneiformis was established through acquisition of Flammeovirga sp. OC4 by in situ enrichment in the deep sea and the following optimization methods. This study provided an alternative approach for environment-friendly and sustainable utilization of algae on a large scale. In addition to creating more opportunities for the application of G. lemaneiformis in the industry, the “one-step process” described in this study could be extended to other kinds of algae in the future.
