Ferulic acid esterases for effective processing of plant carbohydrates
Feruloyl esterases (E.C. 3.1.1.73), a subclass of the carboxylic acid esterases (E.C. 3.1.1.1), are able to hydrolyse the ester bond between the hydroxycinnamic acids and sugars present in the plant cell walls, and have been classified as Types A or B based on their substrate specificity for aromati...
