O-Glycosyl hydrolases (
3.2.1.
) are a widespread group of enzymes that hydrolyse the glycosidic bond between two or more carbohydrates, or between a carbohydrate and a non-carbohydrate moiety. A classification system for glycosyl hydrolases, based on sequence similarity, has led to the definition of 85 different families
[2, 1]
. This classification is available on the CAZy (CArbohydrate-Active EnZymes) website.

Glycoside hydrolase family 16
GH16
comprises enzymes with a number of known activities; lichenase (
3.2.1.73
); xyloglucan xyloglucosyltransferase (
2.4.1.207
); agarase (
3.2.1.81
); kappa-carrageenase (
3.2.1.83
); endo-beta-1,3-glucanase (
3.2.1.39
); endo-beta-1,3-1,4-glucanase (
3.2.1.6
); endo-beta-galactosidase (
3.2.1.103
).
