Abstract:Lipases are enzymes that hydrolyse lipids to produce free fatty acids and glycerol. Fungi were cultured on sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) plates and identified using microscopic techniques. Screening for lipase producers was carried out on SDA media supplemented with 3 % olive oil at ambient temperature. M. pusillus, M. canis, A. fumigatus, Yeast and T. mentagrophytes were found to produce lipases in different amounts with Yeast and M. canis being the highest producers, they were further characterised for this … Show more
