A bounded lienear operator \(T:L_ 1(X,\mu)\to L_ 1(X,\mu)\) is called an Enflo-operator if there is a subspace M of \(L_ 1(X,\mu)\), isomorphic to \(L_ 1(X,\mu)\), such that \(T|_ M\) is an isomorphism into. In this note we show that T is not an Enflo-operator if and only if every non-atomic sublattice of \(L_ 1(X,\mu)\) contains a non-atomic sublattice F such that \(T|_ F\) is compact and we give a second characterization in terms of an equi-integrability condition modeled after the well known characterization of weakly compact subsets of \(L_ 1(X,\mu)\).
