Interest in the alpha-L-arabinofuranosidases has increased in recent years because of their application in the conversion of various hemicellulosic substrates to fermentable sugars for subsequent production of fuel alcohol. Xylanases, in conjunction with alpha-L-arabinofuranosidases and other accessory enzymes, act synergistically to degrade xylan to component sugars. The induction of alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase production, physico-chemical characteristics, substrate specificity, and molecular biology of the enzyme are described. The current state of research and development of the arabinofuranosidases and their role in biotechnology are presented.
近年来，由于α-L-阿拉伯呋喃糖苷酶在将各种半纤维素底物转化为可发酵糖以用于后续燃料酒精生产中的应用，人们对其兴趣与日俱增。木聚糖酶与α-L-阿拉伯呋喃糖苷酶及其他辅助酶协同作用，将木聚糖降解为单糖成分。本文描述了α-L-阿拉伯呋喃糖苷酶的诱导产生、理化特性、底物特异性及分子生物学特性。文中还介绍了阿拉伯呋喃糖苷酶的研发现状及其在生物技术中的作用。
