Lipases, its sources, Properties and Applications: A Review

This review paper provides an overview regarding the main aspects of microbial lipases production. The most important microbial lipase-producing strains are reviewed as well as the main substrates, including the use of agro-industrial residues. Current process techniques (batch, repeated-batch, fed-batch, and continuous mode) are discussed. Finally, some future perspectives on lipase production are discussed with special emphasis on lipase engineering.
