Phenolic compounds released during pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass influence its enzymatic hydrolysis. To understand the effects of these compounds on the kinetic properties of xylan-degrading enzymes, the present study employed the recombinant cellulosomal endo-beta-1,4-xylanase, thermostable GH11 XynA protein from Clostridium thermocellum, as an enzyme model to evaluate the effects of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, gallic acid, vanillin, tannic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, syringaldehyde, and cinnamic acid. XynA was deactivated by the assayed phenols at 60 degrees C, presenting the strongest deactivation in the presence of tannic acid, with an activity reduction of about 80 %. Thermal stability of XynA was influenced by ferulic acid, syringaldehyde, cinnamic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, and p-coumaric acid. The hydrolysis rate of oat-spelt xylan by XynA was influenced by temperature, being unable to hydrolyze at 40 degrees C in the presence of tannic acid. On hydrolysis at 60 degrees C, the presence of gallic and tannic acid caused a major reduction in reducing sugar production, generating 3.74 and 2.15 g.L-1 of reducing sugar, respectively, whereas the reaction in the absence of phenols generated 4.41 g.L-1. When XynA was pre-deactivated by phenols it could recover most of its activity at 40 degrees C, however, at 60 degrees C activity could not be reestablished.
