β¦ Synopsis
The production and certain kinetic characteristics of extracellular lipase from Asperbai/!us niger were investigated. It was possible to substantially enhance the activity of excreted lipase by optimising the interaction between carbon and nitrogen sources applying a two-parameter complete experimental design and response surface analysis. The enzyme was partially purified and a number of kinetic characteristics such as optimum pH and temperature, thermal and pH stability and K, were determined and discussed.'The elevated levels of lipase activity (40.5 U/ml) found in this work competed favourably with most of those reported for lipase hyperproducing fungi.
