Improved synthesis of the antifungal isobutyl o-coumarate catalyzed by the Aspergillus terreus type B feruloyl esterase

Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2021
Background: Hydroxycinnamic acids and some of their derivatives are molecules with interesting biological activities; for instance, hydroxylated hydroxycinnamic esters have proved to have antifungal properties, and thus the generation of these molecules ...

Esterase EstK from Pseudomonas putida mt-2 : an enantioselective acetylesterase with activity for deacetylation of xylan and poly(vinylacetate) [PDF]

, 2017
An extracellular esterase gene estK was identified in Pseudomonas putida mt-2, and was overexpressed to high levels in Escherichia coli. The recombinant EstK enzyme was purified and characterised kinetically against p-nitrophenyl ester and other aryl ...

Cereal Arabinoxylans-Their Enzymatic Degradation and Relevance for Breadmaking and Human Health. [PDF]

Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf
ABSTRACT As the most abundant nonstarch polysaccharides in cereals, arabinoxylans (AXs) contribute significantly to the global intake of dietary fiber. They play a crucial role in the breadmaking process with respect to dough rheology and texture, bread volume, and nutritional quality, especially when starting from wheat or rye flour.

Transition Path Sampling Study of the Feruloyl Esterase Mechanism

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2021
Serine hydrolases cleave peptide and ester bonds and are ubiquitous in nature, with applications in biotechnology, in materials, and as drug targets. The serine hydrolase two-step mechanism employs a serine-histidine-aspartate/glutamate catalytic triad, where the histidine residue acts as a base to activate poor nucleophiles (a serine residue or a ...

Functional Validation of Two Fungal Subfamilies in Carbohydrate Esterase Family 1 by Biochemical Characterization of Esterases From Uncharacterized Branches

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
The fungal members of Carbohydrate Esterase family 1 (CE1) from the CAZy database include both acetyl xylan esterases (AXEs) and feruloyl esterases (FAEs). AXEs and FAEs are essential auxiliary enzymes to unlock the full potential of feedstock.

Screening of winery and olive mill wastes for lignocellulolytic enzyme production from Aspergillus species by solid-state fermentation [PDF]

, 2014
Wastes from olive oil and wine industries (as exhausted grape marc, vineshoot trimmings, two-phase olive mill waste, vinasses, and olive mill wastewater) were evaluated for lignocellulolytic enzyme production (as endocellulases, endoxylanases, and ...

Bioinformatic characterisation of genes encoding cell wall degrading enzymes in the Phytophthora parasitica genome [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND A critical aspect of plant infection by the majority of pathogens is penetration of the plant cell wall. This process requires the production and secretion of a broad spectrum of pathogen enzymes that target and degrade the many complex ...
