Microbial Lipases Production: A review

Abstract

This systematic review gives an outline of the major elements of the synthesis of microbial lipases. The most significant microbial lipase-producing strains for submerged and solid-state fermentations, as well as the most common substrates, such as agro industry wastes, are discussed. Current process methods are described, as well as the most common bioreactor designs. In addition, the current review article provides a broad overview of the evolution of mathematical models for lipase production. Finally, future prospects on lipase production are addressed, with a focus on lipase engineering and the use of mathematical models for process optimization and control. Lipases also have enantioselective characteristics and catalyze the hydrolysis and transesterification of other esters as well as the production of esters. Lipases have become more popular in the food, detergent, cosmetic, organic synthesis, and pharmaceutical sectors due to their capacity to conduct highly precise chemical transformations.
