Lipases are valuable biocatalysts which are widely used in the detergent, food, dairy and pharmaceutical industries. The aims of the present study included the isolation of a lipase-producer from industrial zones and the partial characterization of the enzyme. A number of bacteria were isolated from sites related to the oil industries. An isolate forming a halo zone in a selective medium (TW agar) was then selected and grown on a medium suitable for the production of lipase. The isolate was subsequently identified by the 16S rRNA sequencing method, and its enzyme activity was measured by a spectrophotometer using pNPP as a substrate. The selected isolate was identified by the molecular method as Pseudomonas sp. Its extracellular lipase activity was 41.5 ± 1.4 U/ml, and the high affinity of this enzyme for the substrate was indicated by the kinetic parameters of Km and Vm, which were estimated by the the Lineweaver-Burk plot as 0.77 mM and 49.5 U/ml, respectively. Activation energy o...

Three Pseudomonas lipases, representing three subfamilies, were analysed for pH optima, destabilization by EGTA and surfactants, phospholipase and cholesterolesterase side activities. All the Pseudomonas lipases tested showed alkaline pH optima. The Pseudomonas cepacia and the P. pseudoalcaligenes lipases were totally inhibited by EGTA at pH 9, and the latter was also fully inhibited at pH 7. The lipase from P. mendocina was not inhibited by EGTA at any of the pH values tested. These findings indicate that a calcium binding site exists in some of the Pseudomonas lipases. The P. pseudoalcaligenes, P. cepacia and P. mendocina lipases were inhibited by the anionic surfactant SDS at concentrations between 0.01-0.5 mg/ml. The P. pseudoalcaligenes and P. cepacia lipases were not inhibited by the nonionic surfactant Brij35 in concentration up to 1 mg/ml, whereas the lipase from P. mendocina was inhibited at 0.1 mg/ml. The P. pseudoalcaligenes and P. cepacia lipases were found to possess hi...
