Lipolytic and esterolytic activities of 16 PBR- and metagenome-derived fosmid clones. Activities were assayed in the presence of various pNP substrates (pNP-laurate, pNP-myristate, pNP-palmitate, and pNP-stearate) at a final concentration of 1 mM. Extinction was measured at 405 nm against an enzyme-free blank after 30 min of incubation at 37°C. The data are mean values of at least three replicates. The error bars indicate simple standard deviations.
