DE   mannuronan synthase.
AN   alginate synthase.
AN   mannuronosyl transferase.
CA   [(1->4)-beta-D-mannuronosyl](n) + GDP-alpha-D-mannuronate = [(1->4)-beta-
CA   D-mannuronosyl](n+1) + GDP + H(+).
CC   -!- The enzyme catalyzes the polymerization of beta-D-mannuronate
CC       residues into a mannuronan polymer, an intermediate in the
CC       biosynthesis of alginate.
CC   -!- It is found in brown algae and in alginate-producing bacterial
CC       species from the Pseudomonas and Azotobacter genera.
