Production and optimization of microbial lipase

Production of lipase by the newly isolated Pseu-domonas species has been optimised. Various parameters like initial pH, temperature, incubation period, effect of agitation, inoculum age, inoculum concentration were optimised. It was observed that modified GYP media with 72 hrs incubation, pH 5.5, at 37?°C in agitation conditions were optimum for growth and production of lipase. While optimising the effect of some additional carbon and nitrogen sources, 7% (v/v) olive oil concentration, and 1% (w/v) mannose were found to be the best. In between prediction of the activities has been done through computer programming.
