| description | A plate assay to determine lipase activity was developed.
Tween 80, used as a substrate with Victoria Blue B as the
indicator seemed to be a reliable technique. Lipolytic activity
was determined by the formation of the zone of intensification of
the indicator colour after 24 hr. Intensity of the colour
developed was greater than that of triolein dye system and
clearer than the hydrolysis zone of tributyrin plate. Test using
a commercial enzyme and growth media containing lipolytic
activity showed that the zone of intensification increased with
increased lipolytic activity. A linear relationship could be
seen when log enzyme concentration was plotted against the
diameter of zone of intensification. Using this technique primary screening of lipolytic microorganisms could be conducted using
the formation of zone of intensification around the colonies and
mycelia. Five fungi showing lipolytic activity on plate were isolated
using plate assay. However, using broth culture only one fungus
was found to produce lipase. The fungus was identified as
Rhizopusrhizopodiformis, (strain S1 and S2). Strain S1 was found
to produce maximum lipase yield in the basal medium containing of
peptone and glycerol. |
