Isolation of Candida rugosa lipase isoforms

Isolation of Candida rugosa lipase isoforms

The yeast Candida rugosa is a convenient source of lipases for science and industry. Crude preparation of Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) consists of several extracellular lipases. Isoenzyme profile depends on the culture or fermentation conditions. All isoforms are coded by the lip pseudogene family; they are monomers of 534 amino acids and molecular weight of about 60 kDa. They share the same cat...

Inhibition of Candida rugosa lipase by saponins, flavonoids and alkaloids

Optimization of Candida rugosa lipase immobilization parameters on magnetic silica aerogel using adsorption method

Magnetic silica aerogel in hydrophobic and hydrophilic forms were used as support to immobilize Candida rugosa lipase by adsorption method. Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to study the effects of the three most important immobilization parameters, namely enzyme/support ratio (0.3-0.5, w/w), immobilization time (60-120 min) and alcohol percentage (20-40, %v/v) on the specific act...

Optimization of Biodiesel Production Using Immobilized Candida Rugosa Lipase on Magnetic Fe3O4-Silica Aerogel

Hydrophobic magnetic silica aerogel was used as a support to immobilize Candida rugosa lipase by adsorption method. Physical and chemical properties of the support and immobilized lipase were determined by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis and Fourier Transform InfraRed (FT-IR) spectroscopy and the results showed that the lipase was s...

Kinetic Study of Ethyl Hexanoate Synthesis Using Surface Coated Lipase from Candida Rugosa

Kinetics of lipase-catalyzed esterification of hexanoic acid and ethyl alcohol using the solvent-free system, surface coated lipase from Candida rugosa, had been studied. The effect of various parameters such as reaction time, reaction temperature, reaction kinetics, water removal and feasibility of solvent-free system had been focused. Candida Rugosa lipase was more effective than other li...
