Abstract EN
Lipases are of great interest for different industrial applications due to their diversity and versatility.
Among different lipases, microbial lipases are preferable due to their broad substrate specificity, and higher stability with lower production costs compared to the lipases from plants and animals.
In the past, a vast number of bacterial species have been reported as potential lipases producers.
In this study, the lipases-producing bacterial species were isolated from an oil spillage area in the conventional night market.
Isolated species were identified as Bacillus species by biochemical tests which indicate their predominant establishment, and further screened on the agar solid surfaces using lipid and gelatin as the substrates.
Out of the ten strains tested, four potential strains were subjected to comparison analysis of the lipolytic versus proteolytic activities.
Strain 10 exhibited the highest lipolytic and proteolytic activity.
In all the strains, the proteolytic activity is higher than the lipolytic activity except for strain 8, suggesting the possibility for substrate-based extracellular gene induction.
The simultaneous secretion of both the lipase and protease is a mean of survival.
The isolated bacterial species which harbour both lipase and protease enzymes could render potential industrial-based applications and solve environmental issues.
