Figure 4From: Gene cloning and characterization of a novel esterase from activated sludge metagenomeSubstrate specificity of overexpressed and purified esterase. Relative activity was shown as the percentage of the activity towards 4-nitrophenyl hexanoate. All measurements were done in triplicate. C2, p-NP acetate; C4, p-NP butyrate; C6, p-NP hexanoate; C8, p-NP caprylate; C10, p-NP decanoate; C12, p-NP laurate; C14, p-NP myristate and C16, p-NP palmitate.Back to article page
