Lipases are enzymes that can be secreted by several microorganisms using agro-industrial residues as potential substrates. This work screened ten microorganisms for their potential to produce lipase in palm oil mill effluent (POME)-based medium. Among the 10 organisms, the most promising strain was Candida cylindracea (ATCC 14830) which showed appr

A number of medium components influencing lipase production by Penicillium citrinum (ATCC 42799) were studied using palm oil mill effluent (POME) as the basal medium. The medium components (peptone, yeast extract, malt extract, NH4Cl, NaNO3, KH2PO4, CaCl2, MgSO4, olive oil and Tween-80) were analyzed in twelve experimental trials using Plackett–B
