In particular, exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by these bacteria become a renewable source of both biocompatible and biodegradable molecules. The low molecular weight (LMW) derivatives of the GY785 EPS produced by the deep-sea hydrothermal vent strain Alteromonas infernus have previously displayed some biological properties, similar to those of glycosaminoglycans (GAG), explored in cancer and tissue engineering. These GAG-mimetic derivatives are obtained through a free radical depolymerization process, which could, however, affect their structural integrity. In a previous study, we have shown that A. infernus produces depolymerizing enzymes active on its own EPS. In the present study, an enzymatic reaction was optimized to generate LMW derivatives of the GY785 EPS, which could advantageously replace the present bioactive derivatives obtained by a chemical process. Analysis by mass spectrometry of the oligosaccharide fractions released after enzymatic treatment revealed that mainly a lyase activity was responsible for the polysaccharide depolymerization. The repeating unit of the GY785 EPS produced by enzyme cleavage was then fully characterized.
