ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND Hydroxycinnamic acids and some of their derivatives are molecules with interesting biological activities; for instance, hydroxylated hydroxycinnamic esters have proved to have antifungal properties, and thus the generation of these molecules is of industrial importance. In this study, the direct esterification capacity of the pure recombinant type B feruloyl esterase from Aspergillus terreus (AtFAE B) was evaluated by its ability to catalyze the synthesis of isobutyl o-coumarate, an interesting antifungal molecule. A ternary solvent system (isooctane/isobutanol/water) was employed to improve the synthesis of isobutyl o-coumarate, assessing different substrate concentrations, enzyme load, water percentages and pH and temperature values. RESULTS AtFAE B showed the highest initial rate at 18% (v/v) isobutanol and 50 mM o-coumaric acid, 0.04 mg/ml of enzyme, 4% (v/v) water without buffer and 40C. AtFAE B half-lives at 30C, 40C and 50C were 16.5 h, 1.75 h and 3.5 min, respectively. Thus, we decided to evaluate the bioconversion yield at 30C, where the enzyme showed the highest operational stability. At this temperature, we obtained a yield of ~80% after only 8 h of reaction, using a 78184 isooctaneisobutanolwater ternary solvent system, with 50 mM of o-coumaric acid.CONCLUSIONS Under these improved conditions, the productivity was 1.06 g isobutyl o-coumarate/L*h with a biocatalyst yield of 209.6 kg isobutyl o-coumarate/kg free AtFAE B, demonstrating the promising potential of AtFAE B to accept the non-canonical o-coumaric acid as the substrate and to achieve the synthesis of isobutyl o-coum
