The enzyme glucuronosyl-disulfoglucosamine glucuronidase (EC 3.2.1.56) catalyzes the following chemical reaction:
- 3-D-glucuronosyl-N2,6-disulfo-β-D-glucosamine + H2O D-glucuronate + N2,6-disulfo-D-glucosamine
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-D-glucuronsyl-N2,6-disulfo-β-D-glucosamine glucuronohydrolase. Other names in common use include glycuronidase, and 3-D-glucuronsyl-2-N,6-disulfo-β-D-glucosamine glucuronohydrolase.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
