Abstract
The lipolytic activity of cutinase produced by a recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain was compared with Defat 50, a commercial lipase solution, for their degreasing abilities on a lipidic concentrate of sheep fleshing, a solid by-product of the leather industry. The specific activities obtain ed were 2749 and 938 U mg(-1) of lipase for cutinase and Defat 50, respecti vely.
