Production of alkaline lipase by Aspergillus terreus AUMC 15762 for laundry application.

ABSTRACT: Lipases are extraordinarily critical co-factor-independent enzymes with profound economic consequences. They are utilized extensively in production of fine chemicals, food, textile, pulp and paper, laundry, and biodiesel sectors. In the current study, the lipolytic activity of 141 fungal isolates-representing 21 genera and 38 species-that were isolated from samples of desert soil gathered from the Governorates of Sohag, Qena, and Aswan were examined. Of the 74 isolates showed positive lipase activity, 40 were high lipase producers. In terms of lipase production, Aspergillus terreus AUMC 15762 was the most effective strain. To enhance the synthesis of lipase from Aspergillus terreus AUMC 15762, Plackett-Burman design (PBD) was employed. For the maximal amount of lipase synthesis (103.3 U/mL
