Glucuronoyl esterase – Novel carbohydrate esterase produced by Schizophyllum commune [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2006 The cellulolytic system of the wood‐rotting fungus Schizophyllum commune contains an esterase that hydrolyzes methyl ester of 4‐O‐methyl‐d‐glucuronic acid. The enzyme, called glucuronoyl esterase, was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from a cellulose‐spent culture fluid.
