SAL4 preparation was incubated with different detergents components for 60 min at 40 °C and the remaining activity was measured under standard assay conditions. Residual SAL4 activity was determined at pH 12 and 60 °C. Results are the relative lipase activity expressed as the percentage of the maximum activity recorded without the addition of compound; data are means of triplicate determinations ± standard deviation.
