Background Pedobacter heparinus DSM 2366, (also known as ATCC 13125, IFO 12017 and LMG 10399 among others) is a heparinase producing bacterium isolated from dry soil which prefers carbohydrates and sugars as carbon sources. It grows as Gram-negative rods ranging in size from 0.7 to 6 um long. It is obligately aerobic, does not sporulate and has gliding motility. It is interesting due to its ability to degrade acidic sulfated mucoheteropolysaccharides, like heparin and chondroitin that are formed in various animal tissues. It contains menaquinone MK-7 (adapted from PMID 9542086 and http://standardsingenomics.org/index.php/sigen/article/view/sigs22138/sig22138.pdf). (EBI Integr8)
