Production of lipase from Streptomyces

Lipases constitute an important group of biocatalysts for biotechnological applications This enzyme can be produced by plants animals and microorganisms However microbial lipases are the most studied and occupy the center attraction because of their stability selectivity and broad substrate specificity Streptomyces are filamentous Gram positive bacteria found generally in the soil This microorganism is known mainly for their capacity to synthesize of numerous antibiotics and other secondary metabolites They also produce a large number of enzymes such as lipases which makes Streptomyces a genus with significant biotechnological potential
