PsPL8A is the first chondroitin AC lyase characterized from Pedobacter saltans. PsPL8A retains 85% activity or more at human physiological temperature and pH. PsPL8A enzyme activity is enhanced by 2 fold by Ca2+ and Na+ ions. PsPL8A displayed concomitant endo- and exo-lytic mode of catalysis. Di-, hexa-, octa- and dodeca-saccharides products of C4S were obtained by PsPL8A.
