Abstract Sixteen alginate lyases whose primary sequences have been reported were compared, and classified into the following three groups on the basis of the identity of their primary sequences. Strong homology (〉50%): A-AlgL, A-AlgL*, P-AlgL, P-AlgL*, and AlgA; weak homology (〉20%): ALY, AlxM, P-Aly, K-Aly, AlyPG, AlgVGI, AlgVGII, and AlgVGIII; little homology (〈20%): ALYII, Al-III, and AlgVMI. Using hydrophobic cluster analysis (HCA), a secondary structure prediction method, the sixteen alginate lyases were placed into the following classes. Class 1: AlgA, A-AlgL, A-AlgL*, P-AlgL, and P-AlgL*; Class 2: AlgVMI and Al-III; Class 3: ALY and AlxM; Class 4A: ALYII, K-Aly, P-Aly, and AlyPG; Class 4B: AlgVGI and AlgVGII; Class 5: AlgVGIII, which is put in a class of its own, because it is unlike any of the other alginate lyases.
