As a well-known industrial fungus for cellulase production, the strain RUT-C30 of Trichoderma reesei was selected to produce the feruloyl esterase A (FAEA) by a random integration protocol. The strong promoter of cellobiohydrolase 1 (cbh1) gene was used to drive the expression of FAEA. Using double-joint PCR protocol, Pcbh1-faeA-TtrpC expression cassette was successfully constructed and co-transformed into RUT C30 strain of T. reesei. One transformant with high feruloyl esterase yield (3.44 ± 0.16 IU/mL) was obtained through plate screening and named TrfaeA1. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis of fermentation supernatant from transformant TrfaeA1 showed a distinct protein band appearing at the position of about 34 kDa, indicating that faeA gene has been successfully expressed in T. reesei. Compared with that in original RUT C30 strain, β-glucosidase production in transformant TrfaeA1 was significantly increased by about 86.4%, reaching 63.2 IU/mL due to the random insertion of faeA. Moreover, the total secretion protein and filter paper activities of the transformant TrfaeA1 were also improved by up to 5.5 and 4.3%, respectively. The present results indicated that the random insertion strategy could be an effective and feasible method to improve and optimize the cellulase system of filamentous fungi.

Using maize plants expressing an apoplast targeted Aspergillus niger ferulic acid esterase (FAEA), with FAEA driven by a Lolium multiflorum senescence enhanced promoter (LmSee1), we extended measurements of FAEA activity to late-stage senescing plants and measured the stability of FAEA activity following stover storage. The impact of FAEA expression on cell wall hydroxycinnamic acid levels and arabinoxylan (AX) cross-links, and on the levels of cell wall sugars, acetyl bromide lignin and sugar release following saccharification by a cocktail of cellulases and xylanases, was assessed during plant development to full leaf senescence. These were determined in both individual internodes and in combined leaves and combined internodes of FAEA expressing and control partner plants.

Feruloyl esterase (FAE) has been extensively studied for its crucial auxiliary effect in the biodegradation of lignocellulose. In this study, a FAE database including 15,293 amino acid sequences was established to gain a better understanding of rumen FAEs through multi-omics analysis. The higher expression level of rumen fungal FAEs over bacterial FAEs suggests that rumen fungi may have more important role in the lignocellulose degradation.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on how the human gut microbiota processes dietary carbohydrates decorated with ferulic acid (FA), which offers health benefits.
- Researchers presented the crystal structure of a decameric feruloyl esterase (Fae) in complex with methyl ferulate (MFA), illustrating how MFA binds in a noncatalytic pocket that influences enzyme activity.
- Additionally, experiments using molecular docking and quantum mechanics revealed that this adjacent pocket impacts substrate binding and negatively regulates Fae's activity, potentially affecting the metabolism of FA-conjugated polysaccharides in the gut.

Article Synopsis
- A solid-state fermentation technique using specific bacteria (LAC28 and BCC-1) and enzymes (XAF) was employed to improve the nutritional value of wheat bran in chicken feed.
- The addition of XAF significantly lowered the pH and increased beneficial acids, phenols, and antioxidant properties in the fermented wheat bran compared to the non-enzymatic group.
- Broilers fed the fermented wheat bran showed notable gains in weight, better gut health, and improved nutrient absorption, indicating a promising method for enhancing animal feed sustainability and effectiveness.
