Abstract

Purified N-acetylglucosaminidase and .alpha.1-3,6 Galactosidase endogenous to Xanthomonas have been described. Substrate specificity of isolated enzymes have been identified from GlcNAc.beta.1-x and Gal.alpha.1-3R, Gal.alpha.1-6R, providing improved capability for selectively cleaving a glycosidic linkage in a carbohydrate substrate and for forming modified carbohydrates.
