Microbial lipases: production of extracellular lipase enzyme by alcaligenes viscosus (Doge-1) strain.

ABSTRACT

Industrially important extracellular lipase enzyme production was explored by utilizing microbial strain isolated from dairy effluents. Alcaligenes viscosus DOGE-1 strain isolated from dairy waste waters proved to produce extracellular lipase. Various growth factors were attempted to maximize the lipase production by this strain. Growth factors like NH4PO4, Peptone, Urea coupled with peptone, KH2PO4, Olive oil and pH were found to be favored the maximum lipase production. This microbial strain was found to have a high lipolytic activity.
