SCREENING OF LIPASE PRODUCING FUNGI AND ITS APPLICATION2019 •
The present study is to highlight on screening of lipase producing fungi isolated from oil spilled soil by serial dilution technique. 30 fungi were isolated in the primary screening using potato dextrose agar at 28±2°C after 3 d of incubation. Lipase production was carried out using minimal salt agar medium containing olive oil and waste engine oil as the sole source of carbon at 28±2°C for 5 d on rotary shaker. Out of 30, 25 fungal isolates showed zone of oil degradation on phenol red agar medium containing 1% olive oil. Most efficient lipid degrading fungi were further proceed for quantitative estimation by spectrophotometric method [420 nm] using oleic acid as a standard. Proficient lipase producing fungi was identified as Penicillium sp. on the basis of morphological characteristics and showed lipase activity 91.80 ±1.2U/ml. The present considered lipase has the application in Biofuel production.
The uses of lipases are enormous and increasing and so there is every need to screen and isolate potential species capable of producing large quantities of the enzyme to use for various Industrial applications. In the present investigation Extracellular Lipase producing fungal organisms were screened and isolated from Palm oil effluent collected from Pedavegi palm oil extraction plant, West Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh, India. Of the 10 genera and 15 species of fungi isolated, 12 dominant fungi were selected to study their lipase enzyme activity. The Lipase present in the broth was assayed by cup -plate method and the activity of the enzyme is further confirmed by titrimetric method. Trichoderama spp and Aspergillus spp showed highest lipase producing activity (8.08 U/mL) and Mucor spp showed least enzymatic activity (4.77 U/mL). Aspergillus spp were found to be most frequently encountered spp compared to other fungal members. Since there is growing demand for lipases industrially, rapid and persistent screening for new microorganisms and their lipolytic enzyme activities will open new insights for synthetic processes and provides faster ways to solve environmental problems. In view of this our prese nt study is useful in this aspect. Key Words, Lipase activity, Palm oil effluent, Fungal enzymes, Extracellular lipases.

This work is focused on the study of different microorganisms to obtain a high level of lipase. It was selected 6 different microorganisms: Geotrichum candidum NRRLY-552, Geotrichum sp., Fusarium oxysporum and three wild yeasts from Brazil rainforest. Fermentation carried out using agro industrial by-products like corn steep liquor and protein hydrolysed in shaken flasks under different conditions according to each microorganism. The best results obtained were 17 U.cm -3 (Geotrichum candidum NRRLY-552) and 11 U.cm -3 (Geotrichum sp.) using corn steep liquor and soybean oil, 3.60 U.cm -3 (AAV1 wild yeast) using yeast hydrolysed and soybean oil and 3.90 U.cm -3 (Fusarium oxysporum) using peptone and soybean oil. This work showed that imperfect fungi Geotrichum has better potencial to produce lipase compared to other microorganisms evaluated. However, lipase from Fusarium oxysporum showed a good stability in high pH which is very interesting to new applications of lipase in alkaline co...
ABSTRACT Extracellular lipase production by Penicillium chrysogenum, Trichoderma harzianum and Aspergillus flavus was carried out through solid state fermentation using agro-industrial residues as substrates. For all three strains, the growth temperature was 29±1 °C, and 65 % w (g/gds) moisture content. The effect of three factors on lipase production rate was investigated: initial pH (6.0 and 7.0), time of fermentation (72 h, 96 h and 120 h), and type of mixed substrate (wheat bran-olive oil, and wheat bran-castor oil cake). The process was optimized applying a mixed level factorial design. Fermentation time and pH were found to have positive effects on lipase production and secretion rates. However, the time effect was larger than initial pH. Type of substrate demonstrated minor effective importance than the other two factors, and Aspergillus flavus showed the larger lipase production among the three strains. Results indicated that the three fungal strains were able to grow and produce lipase in both culture mediums. The maximum lipase activity achieved was 121.35 U/gds by Aspergillus flavus, which was five and nine times the lipase produced by Trichoderma harzianum and P. chrysogenum respectively, at the same conditions. An initial neutral pH and 96 h of fermentation time were the optimum conditions for lipase production by Aspergillus flavus.

Aspergillus niger MH078571.1 and A. niger MH079049.1 were identified previously as the two highest Aspergillus niger strains producing lipase. Biochemical characterizations of lipase activity and stability for these two strains were examined and revealed that the optimal temperature is 45 °C at pH 8for A. niger MH078571.1 and 55 °C for MH079049.1. The lipase production of both strains was studied on medium contains waste oil, as a cheap source to reduce the industrial cost, showed that the optimal incubation period for the enzyme production is 3 days. Moreover, an experiment on lipase activates in organic solvents demonstrated that 50% of acetone is the best solvent for the two strains. In the presence of surfactants, 0.1% of tween 80 surfactant showed the best lipase activities. Furthermore, Mg2+ and Zn2+ ions enhanced the lipase activity of A. niger MH078571.1, while Na2+ and Cu2+ enhanced the enzyme activity of A. niger MH079049.1. Lipase activity was also tested for industrial a...
Lipases from plant, animal and microbial sources are of great importance in industrial applications owing to their varied properties and functions. In this study, Aspergillus japonicus MTCC 1975 was cultured in a production medium containing Malt extract (20g/L), Wheat mill bran (10g/L), Soy flour (5g/L), and Whey (1%) for production of lipase varying the design variables pH, temperature and oil substrate concentration. After 72 hours of incubation in the production medium, the pseudomycelium was separated and the culture supernatant was assayed for enzyme activity. Initial experiments were done with ten different vegetable oils, varying pH and temperature on one variable at a time method. High yields of the enzyme and the enzyme activity were obtained with olive and sesame oils as substrate inducers in the medium. Further experiments with olive oil substrate were carried out based on three level full factorial design of response surface methodology and the optimal values of the variables were identified by solving the regression equations using Matlab. Experimental results demonstrated that pH of 6, temperature of 300C and olive oil substrate concentration of 1% are significant for optimal production and activity.
1. INTRODUCTION The exponential increase the application of lipases in various fields in the last few decades demand extension in both qualitative improvement and quantitative enhancement. Quantitative and qualitative production of lipase can be enhanced or improved by using agro-industrial residues or by product as substrate by submerged fermentation by wild strains (Casthilo et al., 2000; Haq et al., 2009; Iftikhar et al., 2010; Iftikhar et al., 2010). Lipases or triacylglycerol acylester hydrolases (E.C.3.1.1.3) are carboxylesterases which catalyze the hydrolysis triacylglycerol and the synthesis of esters formed from glycerol and long chain fatty acids in heterogeneous reactions at the interface of water soluble and water insoluble systems and in organic solvents. Furthermore, Lipases also catalyze the hydrolysis and transesterification, synthesis of ester bond, enantioselectivity and other characteristic properties like substrate specificity, stereospecificity and ragiospecific...

Lipases of microbial origin represent the most widely used class of enzymes in biotechnology. This study was aimed at production of lipase by using chemically altered strains of Aspergillus niger isolated from Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME). The fungus spores were treated with nitrous acid (HNO2) and N-methyl-N’nitro-N-nitroso guanidine (NTG) for strain improvement. The mutated strains were evaluated for lipase production via fermentation of POME. Fungal growth, free fatty acid percentage, lipase activity and pH were analyzed in the course of fermentation using standard procedures. The result of the mutants and their lipase activity showed that Nitrous acid mutant (NA50) had the highest fungal growth and lipase activity to be 16.07 ± 0.03 x 10 6 cfu/mL and 11.69 ± 0.07 U/mL respectively. The lipase yield of the mutant NA50 was 39.00% improvement than the wild strain. Statistically, comparing lipase activity of NA50 strain to others showed a significant difference (p< 0.05). Subseq...

Microbial enzymes are often more useful than enzymes derived from plants or animals because of the great variety of catalytic activity. Lipases are the acyl hydrolases and water soluble enzymes that play a role in fat digestion by cleaving long chain triglycerides into polar lipids. Because of an opposite polarity between the enzyme (hydrophilic) and their substrate (lipophilic), lipase reaction occurs at the interface between the aqueous and oil phase. The main purpose of the study is to utilize Seed cake for the production of industrially important enzyme. In this study the soil sample was collected from garage and petrol bunks, screened for lipase producing organisms grown on tributyrin agar media. The isolates showing maximum lipase activity were studied using de-oiled seed cake as substrate for biochemical parameters.
