Abstract
Aspergillus wentii showed maximum growth and lipase production at 30°C in 3 days at pH 6.0, when cultivated on a shaker. The medium supplemented with glucose showed maximum production of lipase followed by mannitol, fructose, galactose, sucrose, lactose, and maltose. Amongst the nitrogen sources tested, lipase yield was maximum with peptone at the 2% level. Calcium and sodium citrates (0l.%) increased the yield of lipase. Synthetic and natural lipids when added to the growth medium reduced the growth and lipase production.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
