摘要
Interest in the ^5;-l-arabinofuranosidases has increased in recent years because of their application in the conversion of various hemicellulosic substrates to fermentable sugars for subsequent production of fuel alcohol. Xylanases, in conjunction with ^5;-l-arabinofuranosidases and other accessory enzymes, act synergistically to degrade xylan to component sugars. The induction of ^5;-l-arabinofuranosidase production, physico-chemical characteristics, substrate specificity, and molecular biology of the enzyme are described. The current state of research and development of the arabinofuranosidases and their role in biotechnology are presented.
