Isolation of lipase producing fungi from palm oil Mill effluent (POME) dump sites at Nsukka

Isolation of lipase producing fungi from palm oil Mill effluent (POME) dump sites at Nsukka

In this study, twelve fungal lipase producing strains belonging to Aspergillus, Penicillium, Trichoderma and Mucor genera were isolated from palm oil mill effluent composts. The Aspergillus spp. were more frequent (42%) and was present in all the samples assayed. Mucor sp. was the least encountered...
