Novel strain Cellulophaga sp. degrading polysaccharides and a method for degrading polysaccharides using the same

摘要

The present invention relates to a novel Cellulophaga sp. strain having a degradative effect on polysaccharides. More particularly, a sample is collected from the seawater, the tidal mudflat, and the seashore in the region of the southern coast of Korea, and microorganisms are separated. Microorganisms that are capable of degrading carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) are selected. Said microorganisms are confirmed through 16S rRNA analysis as being a novel Cellulophaga sp. strain. Said strain and the supernatant liquid obtained after culturing same are confirmed to have a degradative effect on various polysaccharides.
