Lipase Production by Yarrowia Lipolytica from Different Carbon Sources

The non-conventional yeast Yarrowia lipolytica produces several lipases. Lipase enzyme is one of the most important classes of industrial enzymes. Lipase is used in the production of detergents، cosmetics، pharmaceuticals، flavour enhancers and foods. Lipase production depends on media composition and environmental conditions. To select a suitable carbon source for high level of lipase production، Y. lipolytica DSM 3286 was cultured on different carbon sources. The highest lipase production was detected in medium containing Olive oil (34. 6 U/ml) after 48 h in comparison with other used carbon sources. The results of this study are under development Y. lipolytica lipase production.
