In the present study lipase production, purification and characterization were carried out with a novel fungal strain of Penicillium citrinum KU613360 isolated from vegetable oil contaminated soil samples collected from oil mills located in and around Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh, India. The strain improvement was carried out by subjecting the strain to both UV and Ethidium Bromide treatments. The wild strain of P. citrinum KU613360 showed maximum lipase activity of 1.053±0.32IUmL-1 on optimized medium and while the mutated strain treated with combination of UV (300 sec) and Et Br (200 µgcm3), recorded the enzyme activity of 4.260±0.011IUmL-1, using the optimised medium at 6.5 pH and 40°C temperature. Thus, a 404% enhancement in the activity was achieved by using induced mutation on wild strain of P. citrinum KU613360. The molecular weight of the purified lipase from the mutated strain was found to be 35 kDa, when analysed on SDS PAGE. From our results it was concluded that the mutated strain has considerable capability and potentiality to be used in various industrial applications.

SummaryThe effect of arginine on the production of extracellular lipase byPseudomonas fluorescens32A was studied. Arginine repressed lipase production when N was supplied partially or totally as arginine. Proteinase production was unaffected under the same conditions. Arginine did not repress lipase secretion when cells were pregrown in an arginine-containing medium; however, repression was found with uninduced cells. Several arginine-analogues were tested for the ability to repress lipase secretion and. of these, L-homoarginine and L-canavanine were the most effective. D-Arginine, L-arginine methyl ester, and L-ornithine did not cause repression. With the exception of glutamic acid and methionine, those amino acids that supplied N but not C for growth were found to repress lipase secretion. It is suggested that the accumulation of metabolic intermediate(s) may cause repression of lipase production.

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.
