Lipase productivity by a lipolytic strain of aspergillus sydowi isolated from Egyptian Soil

ABSTRACT

An attempt was made to evaluate the lipase productivity by a lipolytic strain of Aspergillus sydowii, isolated from Egyptian soil, in response to varying pH, temperature, incubation periods and liquid substrates. Results have shown that the optimum pH was 5.6, the optimum temperature was 28C, the optimum incubation period was five days and the best lipid substrate was corn oil giving optimum values of lipase at the concentration of 0.3% v/v
