Feruloyl esterases are part of the enzymatic spectrum employed by fungi and other microorganisms to degrade plant polysaccharides. They release ferulic acid and other aromatic acids from these polymeric structures and have received an increasing interest in industrial applications such as in the food, pulp and paper and bio-fuel industries. This review provides an overview of the current knowledge on fungal feruloyl esterases focussing in particular on the differences in substrate specificity, regulation of their production, prevalence of these enzymes in fungal genomes and industrial applications.
阿魏酸酯酶是真菌和其他微生物用于降解植物多糖的酶谱的一部分。它们从这些聚合物结构中释放出阿魏酸和其他芳香酸，并且在食品、纸浆和造纸以及生物燃料等工业应用中越来越受到关注。本综述概述了目前关于真菌阿魏酸酯酶的知识，特别关注底物特异性的差异、其产生的调控、这些酶在真菌基因组中的普遍性以及工业应用。
