Feruloyl esterases bacterial

Regioselectively protected cytidine derivatives have been prepared from the peracetylated nucleoside using lipase and esterase reactions. There have been reports on the use of bacterial proteases for the selective acylation of sucrose to produce a variety of different acyl and acrylate esters. 8-Aminooctyl 5-5-coniferyl-5-thio-a-L-arabinofuranoside(27) attached to sepharose proved to be a selective affinity ligand for feruloyl esterase A. niger ... 

The presence of feruloyl esterase activity was first detected in culture filtrates of Streptomyces olivochromogenes grown on oats spelt xylan and wheat bran (iJ) and have subsequently been found in a number of bacterial and fungal...
