Ferulic acid is a ubiquitous phenolic phytochemical in plant cell wall and forms the linkage between plant cell wall polymers. Therefore it is a major aspect in the recalcitrance of cell wall against microbial attack. Ferulic acid esterases (FAEs) are hydrolytic enzymes which participate in plant biomass degradation by removing ferulic acid from the polysaccharides in order to weaken t...
