Kaa. Appaiah et Ngk. Karanth, PRODUCTION OF EXTRACELLULAR LIPASE BY THE HEXACHLOROCYCLOHEXANE UTILIZING PSEUDOMONAS STRAIN PTM(+), Letters in applied microbiology, 21(1), 1995, pp. 65-67
Extracelluar lipase activity was detected in a culture of Pseudomonas
strain Ptm(+) growing on hexachlorocyclohexane. Lipase activity was as
sociated with growth of the bacterium and reached a peak at early idio
phase (22 h). Following the lipase activity, bioemulsifier was produce
d, with maximum activity at mid-idiophase (32 h). The extracellular li
pase is probably involved in the extracellular synthesis of the bioemu
lsifier in the culture broth.
