TL;DR: In order to resolve a sterically hindered 3-hydroxy ethyl ester, which was not accepted as substrate by 20 wild-type hydrolases, a directed evolution of an esterase from Pseudomonas fluorescens was performed.

TL;DR: Broad substrate specificity, high enzyme activity, and the favorable stability make the PytZ a potential candidate for the detoxification of pyrethroid residues in biotechnological application.

TL;DR: Evidence has been obtained to show that tannase, esterase and depsidase are enzymes with low specificities capable of hydrolysing both esters and dePSides of gallic acid.
Abstract: The esterase and depsidase activities of tannase have been examined by kinetic methods. Although the esterase/depsidase ratio of tannase may be varied by cultural methods and isolation procedures, evidence has been obtained to show that tannase, esterase and depsidase are enzymes with low specificities capable of hydrolysing both esters and depsides of gallic acid.

TL;DR: Surprisingly, lipase 2 is a more efficient esterase than lipase 3, showing a twofold specific activity against cholesteryl [1-14C]oleate in the authors' experimental conditions.
