Microbial Lipase

Bacteria and fungi are capable of producing extracellular lipases when grown on suitable substrates. Vegetable oil can become rancid if contaminated by microorganisms. However, NaCl in oil seem to inhibit microbial growth at specific concentrations for various microorganisms. The industrial production of lipases can be explored engaging bacteria, fungi and vegetable oil used in this current study.
