A feruloylesterase was purified from the extracellular broth of Aspergillus awamori grown on wheat bran culture. The purified enzyme gave a single band on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing, with an apparent M(r) of 35,000 and a pI of 3.8, respectively. The substrate specificity of the purified enzyme differed obviously from that of acetylesterase of A. awamori. The enzyme bound to microcrystalline cellulose.

Article Synopsis
- Polygonatum kingianum, commonly known as Huangjing, is a traditional Chinese herb in the Asparagaceae family that has medicinal benefits, including promoting blood circulation and boosting immunity, but it is increasingly affected by root rot diseases.* -
- Recent studies have identified several fungal strains causing this root rot, with four isolates obtained, among which HJ-G6 was found to be the most pathogenic, exhibiting rapid growth and a large spore production.* -
- Morphological and genetic analyses concluded that HJ-G6 is likely Aspergillus awamori, a significant pathogen impacting Huangjing's yield and quality in regions like Sichuan and Guizhou.*

Article Synopsis
- The demand for enzymes like phytase is growing due to their applications in the food and animal feed industries, prompting a study on purified phytase from the longhorn beetle.* -
- The enzyme was successfully purified through various methods, achieving an 8.1-fold purification and demonstrating optimal activity at 70°C and pH 7 while maintaining significant activity across a range of pH levels.* -
- The study found that certain ions affected enzyme activity; some (like Ca and Cu) enhanced it while others (like Hg and EDTA) inhibited it, suggesting potential industrial applications for the uniquely sourced phytase.*
