Abstract:Six isolates (Ps1, Ps2, Ps3, Ps4, Ps5 and Ps6) producing lipase were screened from wastewater on a selective medium agar containing Tween 80 or olive oil as the only source of carbon. Isolate Ps 5 showed the highest lipase activity which was later identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The effect of media composition was analysed to maximize the production of lipase. The maximum extracellular lipase present in the broth was purified 4 folds with an overall yield of 19.4% through the purification procedure of am… Show more
“…For determining the effect of metal ions on lipase activity, the purified enzyme was pre incubated with 1 mM of Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , Cu 2+ , Fe 2+ and Zn 2+ for 1 h at 37°C and the residual activity was determined by using olive oil as substrate, according to Zouaoui et al, [24].…”

Massive amounts of waste oil generated by restaurants and native homes in Egypt are dumped into sewage systems, causing network damage. Utilization of waste cooking oil (WCO) in biodiesel production, can aid in solving the problem. In the present study, a new lipase-producing bacterium (Bacillus subtilis) was isolated, identified using 16S rRNA sequence analysis and the isolate sequence was deposited in GenBank (accession number: MN238705). The lipase coding sequence was amplified from the abovementioned strain cloned, and expressed in Escherichia coli. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme tagged with glutathione-S-transferase (GST) was approximately 49 KDa on SDS-PAGE. Accordingly, the purified native lipase exhibited maximal hydrolytic activity at 37°C and pH 7.0, with a positive effect for Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ metals on its activity. Finally, purified native lipase was immobilized on Amberlite resin (IRC50) and successfully catalyzed the transformation of WCO into biodiesel with a yield of 87.39% as determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis. The physicochemical properties of generated biodiesel have met European standards. Prospective studies include large-scale production of Bacillus subtilis native lipase and testing the efficacy of recombinant lipase for the transformation of WCO into biodiesel.

Microbes have been novel hosts for suitable industrial enzymes including lipases. With the rapid increase in biotechnological industries, there is need for improvement of bioproducts, enhance environmental safety and product yield. Microbes are qualified biological arsenal for the achievement of the above mentioned targets in the industrial sectors. Lipases as versatile biological catalyst has given a promising prospect in meeting the needs for most industries such as biodiesel, foods and drinks, leather, textile, detergents, pharmaceuticals and medicals. Catalytic importance of lipases includes hydrolysis, esterification and transesterification. Each of the mentioned reactions has their industrial applications. Lipases exhibit various properties, with respect to its source. Immobilization has made the use of microbial lipases attain its optimum performance and hence suitable for various reaction and the need to add flavor to the immobilization processes.
A lipase-producing bacterial strain was isolated from oil-well-produced water in Shengli oilfield (Shandong province, China) and was identified as Pseudomonas synxantha by 16S rDNA sequence analysis (named Pseudomonas synxantha PS1). Strain PS1 showed a maximum lipase activity of 10.8 U/mL after culturing for 48 h at 30 °C, with lactose (4 g/L) as carbon source, tryptone (8 g/L) as nitrogen source, olive oil (0.5%, v/v) as inductor, and the initial pH 8.0. Meanwhile, the lipase gene from P. synxantha PS1 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 with the vector pET28a. The novel gene (lipPS1) has an open reading frame of 1425 bp and encodes a 474 aa lipase (LipPS1) sharing the most identity (87%) with the lipase in Pseudomonas fluorescens. LipPS1 preferably acted on substrates with a long chain (C10-C18) of fatty acids. The optimum pH and temperature of the recombinant enzyme were 8.0 and 40 °C, respectively, towards the optimum substrate p-nitrophenyl palmitate. The LipPS1 showed remarkable stability under alkaline conditions and was stable at pH 7.0-10.0 (retaining more than 60% activity). From the organic solvents tests, the lipase was activated by 15% (v/v) methanol (112%), 15% ethanol (127%), and 15% n-butyl alcohol (116%). LipPS1 presented strong biodegradability of waste grease; 93% of waste grease was hydrolyzed into fatty acid after 12 h at 30 °C. This is the first report of the lipase activity and lipase gene obtained from P. synxantha (including wild strain and recombinant strain) and of the recombinant LipPS1 with the detailed enzymatic properties. Also a preliminary study of the biodegradability of waste greases shows the potential value in industry applications.
