Mutants and original clones were transferred to screening plates that contained 0.15% (m/v) ethyl ferulate and 50 μg/mL Kana and incubated at 37 °C for ten hours. The activity of clones was identified preliminarily by the larger size of the halos around the clones. The positive mutants were rescreened by detecting the enzymatic hydrolysate ferulic acid (FA) using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (LC-20A system, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). The purified enzyme was added to 100 Mm Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.6) with 1 mM MFA at 60 °C for 3 min, and the reaction was terminated by boiling for 5 min. HPLC was carried out on a Zorbax SB-C18 column at 30 °C, employing water containing 1% acetic acid as solvent A and methanol as solvent B at a rate of 0.5 mL/min.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
