  1. Values represent mean ± SD of at least two independent determinations with different enzyme batches, each including at least two independent measurements
  2. * Values are from Jortzik et al. [14] for comparison. Catalytic efficiency (kcat/KM) from there [14] was calculated from mean values to allow for comparison
