Effect of detergents on the activity/stability of the lipase from A. japonicus LAB01.

Detergent Residual activity (%)

Triton X-10088.80 ± 1.16
Triton X-11434.05 ± 2.65
Tween 8032.50 ± 1.34
SDS0

Lipase samples were incubated with each detergent (1% v/v) at 30°C for 90 min. The remaining lipase activity relative to the non-ion containing control was determined on pNPP substrate at pH 8.0 and 37°C. Values are the average of assays carried out in triplicate.
