  1. All constructs were assayed on the full range of acetyl- and feruloyl esterase substrates (pNP-Ac, 4-MU-Ac, MFA, MSA, MCA and MpCA). Results are presented as the average of three experiments with standard errors. Data were fitted to the Michaelis–Menten equation using OriginPro software. For reactions that could not be saturated with substrate, kcat/Km was determined using linear regression
