“…Of these, the important ones are: Achromobacter, Alcaligenes, Arthrobacter, Bacillus, Burkholderia, Chromobacterium and Pseudomonas (Gupta et al, 2004). Several kinds of lipases originating from Burkholderia species have been identified and their enzymatic properties and crystal structures have been elucidated (Rathi et al, 2001;Mandrich et al, 2005;Park et al, 2007;Yang et al, 2007). Because of their preference for the hydrolysis of triglycerides with a long chain length (greater than C8), excellent enantioselectivity, transesterification, esterification and tolerance to solvents and high temperature, Burkholderia lipases were extensively studied during the past two decades for industrial use (Maury et al, 2005;Orcaire et al, 2006;Fernades et al, 2007;Park et al, 2007;Yu et al, 2007;Li et al, 2007).…”
