Hi,

I have assayed the lipolytic activity of lactic acid bacteria isolated from olives by spectrophotometric method. I used lipase from porcine (Sigma) to generate a standard curve.  I tested bacteria but I can't convert the results from microgram to Units.

The lipase box says following:

Lipase from porcine pancreas

Type II, 100-500 units/mg protein (using olive oil (30 min incubation)), 30-90 units/mg protein (using triacetin)

So, 1 microgram/miligram = How many Units? I couldn't calculate this. Please help.
