Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the halotolerant bacterium Marinobacter adhaerens, is likely responsible for degradation of the compatible solute 2-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-glycerol when the environmental salt concentration decreases. cf. EC
2.4.1.332 , 1,2-alpha-glucosylglycerol phosphorylase.
