Bacterial expression and characterization of an active recombinant lipase A from Serratia marcescens with truncated C-terminal region

- Both wild-type and truncated forms, coding for lipA from Serratia marcescen were successfully cloned and expressed.
- Deletion of in the second β-roll domain at the C-terminal region of SML does not deleteriously affect enzyme catalysis.
- The truncated form of SML with strong catalytic efficiency could be employed potential to industrial applications.
