The invention discloses a alginate lyase (Alg509) derived from marine bacteria and its gene. At the same time, the method for recombinant expression and preparation of the alginate lyase is also disclosed, which is about to alg509 The gene is cloned into an Escherichia coli expression vector, and the vector is transformed into an Escherichia coli host bacterium to obtain a recombinant engineering strain capable of heterologously expressing the enzyme. The alginate lyase Alg509 disclosed by the present invention has high enzyme activity, the specific enzyme activity can reach more than 48000U / mg, the optimum reaction pH is 10, the optimum reaction temperature is 55°C, and the enzyme activity has no dependence on various metal ions . The enzyme is active on sodium alginate, polyguluronic acid (polyG) and polymannuronic acid (polyM), and can completely degrade sodium alginate to produce fucobiose, fucoidanose, and fucoidan Sugar and other fucoidan oligosaccharides. The enzyme exhibits strong basophilicity, has a certain tolerance to high pH, has a certain potential for industrial application, and can be widely used in agriculture, food, feed additives, medicine and other fields.
