A new lipase SL-4 of Burkholderia ubonensis SL-4 was more stable at 50 °C and pH 8.5.
Lipase SL-4 was activated by Ca2+ or Mn2+, but inhibited by EDTA, PMSF, DTT and β-ME.
Lipase SL-4 had non-ionic detergent- and organic solvent-stability.
Liquid lipase SL-4 could catalyze soybean oil to biodiesel at a yield rate of 92.24%.
