The lipase activity of Talaromyces emersonii

Abstract

Studies were carried out on the ability of Talaromyces emersonii Stolk to produce extracellular lipase in stationary liquid medium under various conditions. The best temperatures for lipase synthesis and activity were 40–45 °C, and at all the temperatures (37–55 °C) tested for lipase production, maximum enzyme was produced 8 days after incubation. Lipase synthesis was induced when various carbohydrates were used as carbon sources both in the presence and absence of yeast extract. The significance of lipase production in relation to the natural habitat is discussed.

Novel Hydrolases from Thermophilic Filamentous Fungi for Enantiomerically and Enantiotopically Selective Biotransformations

“…Among the thermophilic fungal strains selected for our lipase/carboxylesterase study, Chaetomium thermophilum, [15,16] Humicola grisea, [17] Humicola insolens, [11] Paecilomyces sp., [13,18,19] Sporotrichum thermophile, [20] Talaromyces emersonii, [21,22,23] Talaromyces thermophilus, [17,21] Thermoascus aurantiacus, [15,16] Thermoascus thermophilus [15,16,17,24] and Thermomyces lanuginosus [11], [16], [21] have been reported for such enzyme production. However, only a few of the above fungi have been used for the industrial production of lipase or have had their enzymes tested thoroughly for organic synthesis.…”

Strategies to Characterize Fungal Lipases for Applications in Medicine and Dairy Industry

“…Lipase production has also been reported for some ascomycetes [23] and coelomycetes [24]. Lipolytic activity has been observed in Mucor spp.…”

Biodegradación De Residuos De Aceite Usado De Cocina Por Hongos Lipolíticos: Un Estudio in Vitro

“…Nuestros hallazgos demostraron que todos los géneros fúngicos lipolíticos produjeron incrementos de concentración de ácidos grasos libres en medio líquido en diferentes niveles (Cuadro I y Fig. 2), estas concentraciones fueron superiores al porcentaje mínimo reportado previamente (20 %) y a otros reportes en sustratos similares (Oso 1978, Negedu et al 2012. Estos ácidos libres fueron directamente proporcionales al grado de biodegradación de RAUC.…”
