Importance of Marine Bacterial and Marine Sponge Pathogens Collagenase

Collagenases are the most important group of collagenolytic proteases. Collagenases due to their collagenolytic activity are critical factors that play a crucial role in the global degradation of the extracellular matrix of animals. Marine organisms serve as a rich reservoir for the isolation and characterization of collagenolytic enzymes. Despite the abundance of biological resources in the marine environment, there is a lack of enough knowledge about the marine collagenase-producing bacteria and sponge pathogens. This review summarizes properties of collagenases isolated from marine bacteria and marine sponge pathogens.
