Production, Characterization and Purification of Lipase by Bacteria Isolated from Palm Oil Mill Effluent and Its Dumpsites Soil

Lipases (triacylglycerol acylhydrolases, EC3.1.1.3) are water-soluble enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis(and synthesis) of ester bonds formed from acyl glycerol and long-chain fatty acids at lipid-water interface. Palm oil mill effluents have been reported to be rich in lipolytic bacteria, thus this work aimed at production, characterization a...
