Researchers have found a new enzyme, taken from Flavobacterium akiainvivens, that has a much broader specificity than the current leading alternatives.
Researchers have found a new enzyme, taken from Flavobacterium akiainvivens, that has a much broader specificity than the current leading alternatives.
This analysis resulted in the identification of the PNGaseL enzyme taken from Flavobacterium akiainvivens, which is a microbe isolated from decaying wood of the Hawai’ian plant Wikstroemia oahuensis (ākia), as well as being the state microbe of Hawai’i.
The identification of this new enzyme, PNGaseL, is described in a paper published in The Royal Society Open Science New Talent Collection.
