the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the addition of commercial lipase in various forms on the acceleration of the ripening of uf-feta cheese. commercial lipase from aspergillus niger was encapsulated by using silica composition based on sol-gel method. lipase was then added to cheeses in three forms, namely, free lipase, encapsulated lipase, and encapsulated lipase with arabi...

Soil salinization is increasing steadily in many parts of the world and causes major problems for plant productivity. Under these stress conditions, root-associated beneficial bacteria can help improve plant growth and nutrition. In this study, salt-tolerant bacteria from the rhizosphere of Uzbek wheat with potentially beneficial traits were isolated and characterized. Eight strains which initi...

lipases are versatile biocatalysts with a wide range of application in food, dairy, leather, paper, pharmaceutical and detergent industries.  in this study, mesophilic lipase gene from an indigenous bacillus pumilus f3 that already its gene had been sequenced and  identified, was cloned and expressed in methylotrophic yeast pichia pastoris and codon translation of lipase gene was evaluated in p...

background and objectives: lipases are particularly important due to the fact that they specifically hydrolyze acyl glycerol, oils and greases, which is of great interest for different industrial applications. materialst and methods : in this study, several lipase-producing bacteria were isolated from wastewater of an oil processing plant. the strain possessing the highest lipase activity was i...

background: probiotics and especially lactobacilli are among the most important components widely used in food technology. isolation and characterization of indigenous probiotics should be performed in native populations. objectives: in order to isolate lactobacillus spp. from iranian traditional lighvan cheese to be used as starters, 15 cheese samples were randomly selected and tested for tech...

in order to isolate novel organic solvent-tolerant (OST) lipases, a metagenomic library was built using DNA derived from a temperate forest soil sample. A two-step activity-based screening allowed the isolation of a lipolytic clone active in the presence of organic solvents. Sequencing of the plasmid pRBest recovered from the positive clone revealed the presence of a putative lipase/esterase en...

Lipases have many applications in biotechnology, thanks to their ability of acylglycerides hydrolysis. They alsp possess the unique feature of acting at the lipid-water interface, which distinguishes them from esterases. Commercially useful lipases are produced by microorganisms with the extracellular lipase being produced by many bacteria including Pseudomonas. The greatest production of lipas...
