Assessment of the Morphological, Biochemical, and Kinetic Properties for Candida rugosa Lipase Immobilized on Hydrous Niobium Oxide to Be Used in the Biodiesel Synthesis

Figure 3

Effect of reaction temperature on hydrolytic activities of lipase preparations. Enzymes were assayed with p-NPP as substrate at pH 7.0, (∘) free lipase, (●) niobium oxide-lipase. Starting activities (free lipase: 1868 units·mg−1; niobium oxide-lipase: 271 units·mg−1) were taken as 100%.
