Molecular and biochemical characterization of mannitol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase from the model brown alga Ectocarpus sp.

Mannitol metabolism plays key roles in the physiology of brown algae. This article describes the biochemical characterization of the recombinant catalytic domain of one mannitol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase (M1PDH) of the model organism Ectocarpus sp.
