β-xylosidases catalyse the hydrolysis of short chain xylooligosaccharides from their non-reducing ends into xylose. In this study we report the heterologous expression of Aspergillus oryzae β-xylosidase (XylA) in Pichia pastoris under the control of...

Heterologous expression and kinetic characterisation of Neurospora crassa β-xylosidase in Pichia pastoris (2014)
Journal Article
Kirikyali, N., & Connerton, I. (2014). Heterologous expression and kinetic characterisation of Neurospora crassa β-xylosidase in Pichia pastoris. Enzyme and Microbial Technology, 57, 63-68. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enzmictec.2014.02.002

To degrade plant hemicelluloses fungi employ β-xylosidases to hydrolyse xylooligosaccharides, released by endo-xylanases, into xylose. We have expressed the β-xylosidase from Neurospora crassa in Pichia pastoris under the control of alcohol oxidase 1...
