Enzymatic formation and cleavage of the bond between two sugars or between a sugar and another group can occur by hydrolysis to give the free sugar (''glycosidases'' or ''glycoside hydrolases''), by transglycosylation to give a new glycoside (''transglycosidases''), by phosphorolysis to give the sugar-1-phosphate (''phosphorylases'') or by elimination to give unsaturated sugar products (''lyases'').
