Degradation of the recalcitrant polysaccharide fucoidan, produced by marine brown algae, is carried out by some bacteria through unclear mechanisms. Here, the authors provide insights into fucoidan processing mechanisms by studying two alga-associated bacterial strains, using microscopy, multi-omic, biochemical and structural techniques.
