To investigate the substrate specificity of Lp_3562, activity was
determined using different p-nitrophenyl esters of various chain
lengths (SigmaeAldrich): p-nitrophenyl acetate (C2), p-nitrophenyl
butyrate (C4), p-nitrophenyl caprylate (C8), p-nitrophenyl laurate
(C12), p-nitrophenyl myristate (C14) and p-nitrophenyl palmitate
(C16) as substrates as described previously
