We assessed the e †ect of ferulate substitution and diferulate crosslinking of xylans on the degradation of cell walls by two fungal enzyme mixtures, one of which contained feruloyl esterase and high xylanase activities. Non-ligniÐed cell suspensions of maize (Zea mays) were grown with 0 or 40 lM 2a
