An archaeal lid-containing feruloyl esterase degrades polyethylene terephthalate [PDF]

Communications Chemistry, 2023
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a commodity polymer known to globally contaminate marine and terrestrial environments. Today, around 80 bacterial and fungal PET-active enzymes (PETases) are known, originating from four bacterial and two fungal phyla.

The Combined Cultivation of Feruloyl Esterase-Producing Strains with CMCase and Xylanase-Producing Strains Increases the Release of Ferulic Acid [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2022
Feruloyl esterase (FAE)-producing micro-organisms to obtain ferulic acid (FA) from natural substrates have good industrial prospects, and the synergistic effect of multiple bacteria can better improve the yield of FA. In this study, on the premise of the

The N-terminus of Lactobacillus amylovorus feruloyl esterase plays an important role in its secretion by Lactobacillus plantarum and Escherichia coli [PDF]

Microbial Cell Factories, 2021
Background Feruloyl esterase is a multifunctional esterase with potential industrial applications. In the present study, we found the Lactobacillus amylovorus feruloyl esterase (FaeLam) could be secreted by L. plantarum and Escherichia coli.

Embedding a feruloyl esterase active site into a thermophilic endoxylanase scaffold for the degradation of feruloylated xylans [PDF]

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal
The structural complexity of xylan makes its complete degradation challenging. Strategies to improve its hydrolysis often requires enzyme cocktails with multiple specific activities or proteins harboring multiple catalytic domains.

The natural catalytic function of CuGE glucuronoyl esterase in hydrolysis of genuine lignin–carbohydrate complexes from birch [PDF]

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2018
Background Glucuronoyl esterases belong to carbohydrate esterase family 15 and catalyze de-esterification. Their natural function is presumed to be cleavage of ester linkages in lignin–carbohydrate complexes particularly those linking lignin and ...

Characterization of Feruloyl Esterase from Bacillus pumilus SK52.001 and Its Application in Ferulic Acid Production from De-Starched Wheat Bran [PDF]

Foods, 2021
Feruloyl esterase (FAE; EC 3.1.1.73) catalyzes the hydrolysis of the 4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamoyl group in an esterified sugar to assist in waste biomass degradation or to release ferulic acid (FA).
