Main Focus of the book is: isolation of Lipase producing strains from various substrates. Using different screening methods identification of the hyper producer species for lipases. Optimization of culture conditions in solid state fermentation for selected strains. Extracellular lipase purification. Extracellular Lipase characterization in terms of temperature, pH, effects of detergents and metal ions effect. Identify the selected lipase producer strain, by ribo-typing. Application of lipases as bio-detergent and for bioremediation
