Abstract: Polysaccharide-degrading enzymes are a class of hydrolase that can catalyze the cleavage of glycosidic bond in polysaccharide molecules,consequently reduce the degree of polymerization,and eventually produce oligosaccharides. There are huge number of microbes on the Earth,thus the variety of polysaccharide-degrading enzymes is broad. Particularly polysaccharide-degrading enzymes from marine microorganism,due to their specific catalytic activities,presented an important industry application prospect. With the rapid development of marine biotechnology,the development and utilization of polysaccharide-degrading enzymes from marine microorganism have gradually attracted researchers' attentions. In this paper,the main types and the status of current research on polysaccharide-degrading enzymes from marine microorganism are reviewed,and the trends of application and development are summarized,aiming at providing references for the research and development of polysaccharide-degrading enzymes from marine microorganism.

Key words: marine, microorganism, polysaccharide-degrading enzymes, application
