The incorporation of enzyme-catalysed reactions as key features in multi-step organic syntheses is becoming more widespread. Various hydrolase and oxidoreductase enzymes have been used in syntheses of antibiotics and compounds of importance in inflammation and heart disease. The employment of enzymes as catalysts in synthetic organic chemistry is becoming widespread; comprehensive recent review...

pseudomonas aeruginosa ef2, atcc 9027 and atcc 19660 were grown in a continuous culture under tween 80 (polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate) limitation and optimum conditions (ph 6.5, 37°c at dilution rate of 0.05/h). culture supernatants were carefully removed and stored at -20°c. to purify the lipases, the culture supernatant was reduced in volume to approximately 10 ml by an ultrafiltration ...

the tremendous mounting interest in lipase production is pertinent to the biotechnological applications that these enzymes offer. lipase, belonging to the hydrolyze enzymes, is involved in copious biological functions including: hydrolysis insoluble triacylglycerol to mono and diacylglycerols and glycerol. submerge fermentation technique was applied for the efficient production of this. briefly...

In this study, 169 zygomycetes fungal strains including some cold-tolerant isolates were screened for their extracellular lipolytic activity towards tributyrin. Nineteen of them were outstanding in their enzyme production as they developed the largest lipolytic halo around the colonies in plate tests. Mortierella alpina, M. echinosphaera, Mucor corticolus, Rhizomucor miehei, Rhizopus oryzae, Rh...

aquatic animals are important resources for extraction of valuable compounds such as enzymes. in this study, lipase was extracted from the intestine of rainbow trout. samples were defatted with acetone several times; ammonium sulphate (60%) was used for precipitation followed by ultrafiltration for concentrating the samples. the final purification of the enzyme was performed by passing of the s...

the present study was undertaken to screen the soil samples collected in iran for the presence of the bacillus subtilis lipase a gene. the bacterial colonies obtained from the collected soil samples were examined by physical appearance, biochemical tests and  the polymerase chain reaction (pcr). only four colonies were identified as putative b. subtilis strains and all contained the lipase a ge...

the objective of the present study was to determine the antilipidperoxidation and in vitro α-amylase and lipase inhibitory activity of the boswellia ovalifoliolata bal henry (bob) extract. the polyphenolic compounds, flavonoids, and tannins content of the extracts were estimated by spectrophotometry. antioxidant activity on goat liver lipid peroxidation and linoleic acid was determined.moreover...

conclusions there was a significant correlation between elevated lipase levels and the incidence of multiple organ failure. moreover, no significant association was found between the elevated amylase levels and organ failure. however, on admission, measurement of these enzymes coupled with routine laboratory investigations can be a powerful tool in the early detection of patients progressing to...

lipases catalyze hydrolysis and synthesis of triacylglycerols. these enzymes,especially the microbial ones, have wide commercial and industrial usage. bacillus subtilis lipase has interesting properties such as small size and tolerance to basic ph; therefore, developing techniques for its recognition and isolation is the focus of research in many laboratories. in the present study, two factors ...

Lipases are diversified enzymes in their properties and substrate specificity, which make them attractive tools for various industrial applications. In this study, an alkaline thermostable lipase producing bacteria were isolated from soil of different regions of Isfahan province (Iran) and its lipase was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and ion exchange chromatography. To select a the...
