The Lp_3561 and Lp_3562 enzymes support a functional divergence process in the lipase/esterase toolkit from Lactobacillus plantarum [PDF]
, 2016 Lactobacillus plantarum species is a good source of esterases since both lipolytic and esterase activities have been described for strains of this species. No fundamental biochemical difference exists among esterases and lipases since both share a common

Structure of a feruloyl esterase fromAspergillus niger [PDF]
Acta Crystallographica Section D Biological Crystallography, 2004 The crystallographic structure of feruloyl esterase from Aspergillus niger has been determined to a resolution of 1.5 A by molecular replacement. The protein has an alpha/beta-hydrolase structure with a Ser-His-Asp catalytic triad; the overall fold of the protein is very similar to that of the fungal lipases. The structure of the enzyme-product complex

Effects on the Enzymes Production from Different Mixes of Agro-Food Wastes
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2015 The solid state fermentation (SSF) is increasingly being used for the production of high value-added products using agro-food wastes as substrate. In fact, these residues which are available in large quantities and at low cost, have usable nutrients for ...

Decreased Polysaccharide Feruloylation Compromises Plant Cell Wall Integrity and Increases Susceptibility to Necrotrophic Fungal Pathogens [PDF]
, 2016 The complexity of cell wall composition and structure determines the strength, flexibility, and function of the primary cell wall in plants. However, the contribution of the various components to cell wall integrity (CWI) and function remains unclear ...
