Article Abstract
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. Analyses of the information acquired through the database showed that the rumen FAEs are mainly derived from anaerobic fungi. One special candidate harboring both feruloyl esterase and endoxylanase modules (Fae00416) from anaerobic fungus Pecoramyces ruminantium F1 was found to have intramolecular synergy between the esterase and xylanase domains, which underpins the importance of this enzymes in heteropolysaccharide degradation. The discovery of novel and efficient FAEs in rumen could contribute to enhancing the production of biofuels and bioproducts.

Limosilactobacillus fermentum CRL2085, isolated from feedlot cattle rations, displayed high efficiency as a probiotic when administered to animals. A comprehensive genomic analysis was performed to elucidate the genetic basis underlying its probiotic potential. Fifteen genomic islands and CRISPR-Cas elements were identified in its genome.

Background: Ferulic acid possesses certain antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Additionally, ferulic acid esterase (FAE) and cellulolytic enzymes have been associated with synergistic degradation of ferulic acid ester bonds, thereby facilitating greater release of ferulic acid from lignocellulose, which could have important effects on silage quality and aerobic stability.
Methods: This study examined the effects of ensiling Broussonetia papyrifera with FAE-producing Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (LP), cellulase (CE) and xylanase (XY) under aerobic exposure conditions.

Companion animals have become an increasingly important part of human life, consequently, there is a significant increase in the demand of natural food ingredients and functional foods in order to improve their health and well-being. Probiotics have been used in humans and production animals and have recently attracted the focus of the pet industry. Therefore, the main objective of this work was to isolate, and survey the different beneficial properties of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains from dogs, in order to advance in the design of probiotic formula that would be beneficial for canine health.

Ferulic acid (FA) is one of the most abundant hydroxycinnamic acids found in plant cell walls. Its dehydrodimers play an important role in maintaining the structural rigidity of the plant cell wall. Ferulic acid esterases (FAEs) act as debranching enzymes, cleaving the ester bond between FA and the substituted carbohydrate moieties in FA-containing polysaccharides in the plant cell wall.

Background/objectives: CRL1231 ( CRL1231) is a strain with feruloyl esterase (FE) activity that enhances ferulic acid (FA) release from wheat bran (WB) and has potential as a probiotic for metabolic syndrome (MS). Given the potential health benefits of FA and its microbial metabolites, this study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of CRL1231 co-administered with WB in a mouse model of metabolic syndrome (MS) induced by a high-fat diet (HFD).
Methods: Mice were divided into three groups and fed for 14 weeks as follows: the Control group (standard diet), the MS group (HFD+WB), and the MS+Lj group (HFD+WB and CRL1231-dose 10 cells/day).
