Extracellular Carbohydrate Esterase from the Basidiomycete Coprinopsis cinerea Released Ferulic and Acetic Acids from Xylan.

The article presents a study on extracellular carbohydrate esterase (CcEst1), which is cloned from the basidiomycete Coprinopsis cinerea. It says that the recombinant CcEst1 showed in Pichia pastoris advanced on p-nitrophenyl acetate, α-naphthyl acetate, and methyl hydroxycinnamic acids. It mentions that the enzyme released from the basidiomycete Coprinopsis cinerea which are ferulic and acetic acids are coming from the wheat arabinixylan and acetylated xylan.
