Unraveling the Lipolytic Activity of Thermophilic Bacteria Isolated from a Volcanic Environment

Figure 2

Effect of carbon source type on maximum extracellular lipase production (nkat⋅mL⁻¹) in liquid cultures, achieved between 48 and 72 h of growth, depending on the source used. Circle areas are proportional to enzyme activities, while only activities above 1 nkat⋅mL⁻¹ are shown with numerical values. Black circles denote no detection of lipolytic activity. Values represent the mean of triplicate flasks. Maximum SD ± 18.2%.
