The main aim of MOSAIC is to carry out bioprospecting aimed at identifying and characterising (i) new microorganisms (fungi and bacteria) with a high capacity to hydrolyse marine polysaccharides, (ii) new families of enzymes (glycosyl hydrolases and sulfatases) with a high potential value for the biomedical and biotechnological industry, and (iii) new active ingredients for the pharmaceutical industry from processing marine glycans.
