Abstract

The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana CG432 produced an extracellular lipase on the 7th day of fermentation in Alves broth containing 0.25% Triton X-100 and Tween 80 surfactants, and 3.0% olive oil at 28°C and 200rpm. Optimal temperature and pH conditions for lipase activity were found to be range from 40 to 60°C and pH 7.5 and 8.0 using 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer, verified by a hydrolysis p-nitrophenol palmitate assay. Under these conditions, lipase was 50% stable for approximately 10h, however it was stable for up to 10 days (-18°C), refrigerated (4°C) or kept at room temperature (25°C).
