ABSTRACT

The present study has been designed to investigate the effect of solid substrates and moisture contents on the production of extra cellular lipase enzyme. High yield of enzyme activity 281.70 U/gss was obtained with rice bran and minimum activity 162.37 U/gss was observed with coconut cake. In such case of moisture content maximum lipase production was obtained 365.00 U/gss with 5ml moistening whereas minimum was obtained at 3ml moistening solid substrate. The study will be helpful in defining moisture content and solid substrate for higher production of lipase which are helpful in industries for commercial applications

Key words : A. blakesleeana, Lipase, Moisture content, Solid State fermentation, Solid substrate.
