(ləˈmɪnərɪneɪz, læmɪˈnærɪneɪz)
[f. *laminarin n. + -ase.]
= *laminaranase n.
| 1966 Biochem. Jrnl. XCVIII. 20c/1 Incubation of glucan A with a bacterial laminarinase preparation..gave glucose, laminaribiose and laminaritriose. 1967 Percival & McDowell Chem. & Enzymol. Marine Algal Polysaccharides ii. 65 The enzymes which hydrolyse laminaran are termed laminarases (= laminarinases). 1974 R. J. Sturgeon in J. B. Pridham Plant Carbohydrate Biochem. xv. 227 Hydrolysis of the glucan by a bacterial laminarinase released glucose, laminaribiose, laminaritriose and a water-soluble ‘limit dextrin’. 1987 Jrnl. Phycol. XXIII. 494/1 This glucan had a median molecular weight of 4600..and could be hydrolyzed by laminarinase. |
