Enzymes capable of modifying the sulfated polymeric molecule of fucoidan are mainly produced by different groups of marine organisms: invertebrates, bacteria, and also some fungi. We have discovered and identified a new strain of filamentous fungus Fusarium proliferatum LE1 (deposition number in Russian Collection of Agricultural Microorganisms is RCAM02409), which is a potential producer of fucoidan‐degrading enzymes. The strain LE1 (RCAM02409) was identified on the basis of morphological characteristics and analysis of ITS sequences of ribosomal DNA. During submerged cultivation of F. proliferatum LE1 in the nutrient medium containing natural fucoidan sources (the mixture of brown algae Laminaria digitata and Fucus vesiculosus ), enzymic activities of α‐ L ‐fucosidase and arylsulfatase were inducible. These enzymes hydrolyzed model substrates, para ‐nitrophenyl α‐ L ‐fucopyranoside and para ‐nitrophenyl sulfate, respectively. However, the α‐ L ‐fucosidase is appeared to be a secreted enzyme while the arylsulfatase was an intracellular one. No detectable fucoidanase activity was found during F. proliferatum LE1 growth in submerged culture or in a static one. Comparative screening for fucoidanase/arylsulfatase/α‐ L ‐fucosidase activities among several related Fusarium strains showed a uniqueness of F. proliferatum LE1 to produce arylsulfatase and α‐ L ‐fucosidase enzymes. Apart them, the strain was shown to produce other glycoside hydrolyses.
