Ferulic acid is the most abundant hydroxycinnamic acid in the plant world and maize bran
with 3.1%(w/w) ferulic acid is one of the most promising sources of this antioxidant. The …

Ferulic acid and its hydroxycinnamate derivatives represent one of the most abundant forms
of low molecular weight phenolic compounds in plant biomass. Feruloyl esterases are part …

Plastics pollution represents a global environmental crisis. In response, microbes are
evolving the capacity to utilize synthetic polymers as carbon and energy sources. Recently …

Plant‐pathogenic fungi produce an array of extracellular hydrolytic enzymes that enable
them to penetrate and infect the host tissue; these enzymes are collectively called cell wall …

Enzymes that catalyse the synthesis and breakdown of glycosidic bonds account for 1–3%
of the proteins encoded by the genomes of most organisms. At the current rate, over 12 000 …

Feruloyl esterases (FAEs) represent a diverse group of carboxyl esterases that specifically
catalyze the hydrolysis of ester bonds between ferulic (hydroxycinnamic) acid and plant cell …

Feruloyl esterase forms a part of the enzyme complex that acts collectively and
synergistically to completely hydrolyze xylan to its monomers. The enzyme has found …

Feruloyl esterases (FAEs) act synergistically with xylanases to hydrolyze ester-linked ferulic
(FA) and diferulic (diFA) acid from cell wall material and therefore play a major role in the …

In nature, lipases (EC 3.1. 1.3) catalyze the hydrolysis of triglycerides to form glycerol and
fatty acids. Under the appropriate conditions, the reaction is reversible, and so …

Wheat straw was submitted to a pre-treatment by the basidiomycetous fungi Euc-1 and Irpex
lacteus, aiming to improve the accessibility of cellulose towards enzymatic hydrolysis via …
