In this study, the growth characteristics of an agar-degrading bacterium isolated from seawater samples collected from Yeongheungdo, Incheon, and the characteristics of its agarase were analyzed. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the isolated strain was 95% similar to that of the genus Agarivorans, and thus the isolated strain was named Agarivorans sp. HY-1. When Agarivorans sp. HY-1 was cultured in a marine broth 2216 medium at 27℃ and 250 rpm, it showed maximum growth on day 1 and showed maximum enzymatic activity on day 2. A crude enzyme solution was prepared from secreted agarase in the culture medium. The extracellular agarase of the Agarivorans sp. HY-1 strain showed maximal activity at 40℃ and pH 7.0 (20 mM Tris-HCl) with 591.91 U/l. The agarase exhibited relative activities of 64, 91, 100, 97, 89, and 60% at 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70℃, respectively. At pH 5, 6, 7, and 8, the relative activities were 79, 95, 100, and 55%, respectively. Furthermore, the agarase exhibited >86% residual activity at 20, 30, and 40℃ for 2 hr and >44% residual activity at 50℃ after 2 hr. A TLC analysis confirmed that Agarivorans sp. HY-1 produced α-agarase. As the degradation products of α-agarase have anticancer and antioxidant effects, Agarivorans sp. HY-1 and its agarase may well prove useful.
