The invention discloses a multifunctional algal polysaccharide lyase gene, multifunctional algal polysaccharide lyase, a genetic engineering bacterium with the multifunctional algal polysaccharide lyase and a method for constructing the genetic engineering bacterium. Nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the multifunctional algal polysaccharide lyase are shown as SEQ ID NO.1 and SEQ ID NO.2. Themethod includes steps of firstly, utilizing DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) of genomes of marine bacteria as a template and amplifying multifunctional algal polysaccharide lyase gene sequences by the aidof primers; secondly, cloning the multifunctional algal polysaccharide lyase gene into plasmids to obtain recombinant vectors; thirdly, carrying out transformed cloning on the recombinant vectors in hosts; fourthly, carrying out transformed expression on the recombinant vectors in hosts to obtain the multifunctional algal polysaccharide lyase production genetic engineering bacterium. The multifunctional algal polysaccharide lyase gene, the multifunctional algal polysaccharide lyase, the genetic engineering bacterium and the method have the advantage that the multifunctional algal polysaccharide lyase is high in activity for sodium alginate, k-carrageenan, l-carrageenan and agar and can be widely used in the field of chemical engineering, agriculture, food and feed addition, medicines, algahereditary engineering and the like.
