Screening, identification and optimization of lipase production by a yeast isolated from a tree canopy fern in Mt. Makiling Forest Reserve, Philippines
Lipases (triacylglycerol acylhydrolases, E.C. 3.1.1.3) are enzymes generally used in several industrial applications. This study aimed to screen lipase-producing yeast isolates obtained from Makiling Forest Reserve (MFR), Philippines and to optimize conditions required for the mass production of the...

Lipases (triacylglycerol acylhydrolases, E.C. 3.1.1.3) are enzymes generally used in several industrial applications. This study aimed to screen lipase-producing yeast isolates obtained from Makiling Forest Reserve (MFR), Philippines and to optimize conditions required for the mass production of the enzyme. From the 144 isolates, B1-7 showed the highest lipase activity in both solid and liquid selection media (7.6 EAI and 0.082 U/mL · min activity, respectively). Molecular identification through ITS amplification and phenotypic characterization revealed the putative identity of isolate as Cryptococcus flavescens. Response Surface Method (Box- Behnken Design), suggested that the optimum conditions for maximum lipase production in liquid medium (0.66 U/mL · min) were 5.0 Carbon to Nitrogen ratio (C:N), pH 6.0 and 0.5% inducer.
