Induced formation of lipase by geotrichum candidum link

Abstract

It was recognized that Geotrichurm candidum Link which was selected as the efficient lipase producer formed lipase only in the presence of substrate or its relating compounds such as oils or fatty acids in a cultivation medium. From the experimental results obtained by the cultivation of the microorganism and also by using of washed cells, it seemed that lipase was formed inducibly. It is likely that the produced lipase is localized around the cell wall and membrane and it is released from the cells after a certain period from the inducible synthesis. © 1973, Japan Society for Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Agrochemistry.
