Comment :
Samoylova et al. defined a new lipase family XVIII of updated classification with homologues of esterase estUT1 from Ureibacillus thermosphaericus. It has a typical catalytic triad and the active serine is included in a pentapeptide (GGSVG). The enzyme is specific for short chain fatty acids p-NP esters. This family is not separated yet from CarbLipBact_1 together with Family_XIII.2 in ESTHER
