Exploring the synergy between fungal CE15 glucuronoyl esterases and xylanases for lignocellulose saccharification by Christina Pentari, Constantinos Katsimpouras, Mireille Haon, Jean-Guy Berrin, Anastasia Zerva, Evangelos Topakas

“…Results In this study, two CE15 glucuronoyl esterases from the white-rot fungi Artolenzites elegans and Trametes ljubarskyi were heterologously expressed in Pichia pastoris and biochemically characterized on the model substrate D-glucuronic acid ester with cinnamyl alcohol and a variety of pretreated lignocellulosic biomasses. The pretreatment method was shown to be a determining factor in revealing both the activity of the esterases on lignocellulose and their synergistic relationships with other hemicellulases. …”
