Of the major sustainable energy options, biofuel is most promising
Bioethanol –enzymatically produced fuel from fermentable sugars
Versatile biofuel feedstock: ALGAE
Green algae is an underexploited resource

1. SACCHARIFICATION To fully utilize ULVAN, enzymatic
machinery for degradation must be identified and functional
2. FERMENTATION Once broken down, sugars can only
be fermented to ethanol by microorganisms with the appropriate tools

Four bacteria were isolated from Aplysia sp. and tested for ulvan/oligo-degrading capability
In collaboration with Dr. William Helbert from CERMAV-CNRS, France
Polysaccharide utilization locus (PUL)
Genomes of the native marine bacteria were sequenced and annotated, revealing ulvan PULs
A PUL is a set of physically linked genes that coordinates the breakdown of a specific polysaccharide
Includes genes for sensing and binding the polysaccharide, to cleavage and transport of oligosaccharides
