Efficiency of Aspergillus Species to Produce the Lipase Enzyme from Various Types of Oil Seeds

Abstract

Filamentous fungi can easily degrade agroindustrial wastes in solid- state fermentation processes synthesizing many important commercial biocompounds such as lipolytic enzymes. Lipases have various applications in industry so the aim of this study to evaluate the effect of the composition of the solid culture medium on the production of lipolytic enzymes by various species of Aspergillus, so in this study we use different types of of oil seeds to isolate different species of Aspergillus and study their effect on production of lipase enzyme by using of this different seeds as a substrate for culturing of this fungi and in this study Aspergillus niger that are isolated from pistacia vera seeds is more efficient for production of the lipase enzyme.
