Lipases (triacylglycerol acylhydrolases, E.C. 3.1.1.3) are enzymes vastly used in industrial applications. The current study aims to screen lipase-producing yeasts isolated from a tree canopy fern from the Makiling Forest Reserve (MFR), Philippines and to optimize conditions that can maximize the ma...
