Effect of Carbon and Nitrogen Sources on Lipase Production Activity of Fungi

Dhiraj Kumar, Dr. Md. Anzer Alam

Abstract: Carbon sources of the culture medium support both growth and lipase production ability of fungi. Sucrose is observed to be the best sugar source for lipase activity in Fusarium solani. It became evident during this research study that sucrose enhances lipase activity in Fusarium solani but glucose in other two fungal species. Potassium chloride for Penicillum chrysogenum and Aspergillus oryzae and Potassium nitrate for Fusarium solani remain suitable nitrogen source for maximum lipase activity. It became evident that nitrogen content of the culture medium is one of the most important factors with regard to lipase production by fungi.
