the objective of this study was to identify acinetobacter in a traditional cheese from west azarbaijan, iran, and to study the lipolytic and proteolytic activities of these bacteria in ripening of white brine cheese. acinetobacter is a gram negative bacteria which can be found in different sources as dairy products. lypolysis and proteolysis characteristic of this bacteria and thus its role in ...

The influence of obesity on the lipolytic capacity of isolated sc fat cells was studied prospectively in 13 women and 10 men, all obese, but otherwise healthy, before and 2 and 3 yr after weight reduction by bariatric surgery. Nonobese subjects (25 women and 17 men) without a family history of obesity served as the control group. Lipolytic capacity was determined after stimulation at different ...

the present study was aimed to isolate and characterize the lipolytic enzyme producing bacteria from soil samples of regions around zayande-rood river of isfahan, iran. soil samples were collected from 15 cm depth of soil surface. based on morphology, distinct colonies were isolated and purified through streak culture on to standard agar plates. isolated colonies were examined for lipase activi...

Metagenomic screening and conventional cultivation have been used to exploit microbial lipolytic enzymes in nature. We used an indigenous forest soil (NS) and oil-fed enriched soil (OS) as microbial and genetic resources. Thirty-four strains (17 each) of lipolytic bacteria were isolated from the NS and OS microcosms. These isolates were classified into the (sub)phyla Betaproteobacteria, Gammapr...

1. A method is presented for the quantitative comparison under various conditions of the activity of the lipolytic enzyme of the hemolytic steptococcus. The speed of acid production as shown in the color change from pH 8.0 to 7.2, when the living streptococcus is suspended in association with ethyl butyrate, is considered to be indicative of the amount of ferment elaborated by the organism. 2. ...

Free fatty acids (FFAs) and glycerol oscillate in plasma. This study examined intrinsic lipolytic oscillations within adipocytes. Rat adipocytes were perifused with Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer: 1) +/- 2 mmol/l glucose; 2) +1 micromol/l isoproterenol +/- 2 mmol/l glucose; 3) + increasing oleate; and 4) + increasing percent BSA. At 2 mmol/l glucose, there were 9 +/- 1 glycerol, FFAs, and lact...

The present study was carried out with a view of determining ricin lipolytic activity on neutral lipids in emulsion and in a membrane-like model. Using 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol tributyrate (BAL-TC(4)) as substrate, the lipolytic activity of ricin was found to be proportional to ricin and substrate concentrations, with an apparent K(m) (K(m,app)) of 2.4 mM, a k(cat) of 200 min(-1) and a specifi...

1. Post-heparin lipolytic activity in man has been studied by using a triglyceride substrate emulsion containing different emulsifiers. 2. The lipolytic activity measured was profoundly influenced by the type of emulsifier used in the substrate. Substrate stabilized by synthetic emulsifiers give higher lipolytic activity than Intralipid, which contains egg phospholipids as emulsifiers. This dif...

Neutral lipolytic activity (hydrolysis of olive oil at 37”, pH 7.0) and alkaline lipolytic activity (hydrolysis of tributyrin at 47’, pH 8.0) have previously been demonstrated in human adipose tissue. Neutral lipolytic activity has currently been shown to be present in a large molecular weight substance, associated with lipid, and separable from most alkaline lipolytic activity by ammonium sulf...
