Original Abstract

Biotransformation of ferulic acid (FA) involves the metabolic activities of microorganisms such as bacteria or fungi, which alter the chemical structure of compounds. FA, a phenolic compound prevalent in numerous plants, offers a multitude of health benefits including anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. This compound can be efficiently sourced from lignocellulosic waste, which is abundant in agricultural and forestry by-products. Extremophilic bacteria were used in this work. These bacteria can survive in environments with extreme conditions such as high/low temperature, acidic or basic environments, or high salt concentration. Biotransformation experiments have achieved a conversion success rate of 80–90 mol. %.
