The reactions were performed using 1 mM of substrate at 30°C for 150 min and the fraction of fucose released from the substrates under the reaction conditions employed is given in %. For hydrolysis of 2’-FL, 3-FL and citrus xyloglucan, the fucose content was determined by HPAEC-PAD. The hydrolysis of fucose from Arabidopsis thaliana and Sambucus nigra xyloglucan was measured using immuno-glycan arrays (S2 File), and 0% corresponds to the signal from untreated samples whereas 100% corresponds to the complete α-L-fucosidase-mediated removal of the antibody fucosyl epitope detected by the antibody.
