Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Apart from their usual mechanism of action, lipases from Aspergillus niger and Rhizopus delemar also catalyzed the synthesis of glycerides from oleic acid and glycerol. Lipases from Geotrichum candidum and Penicillium cyclopium were inactivated by oleic acid, but were stable in the presence of casein, albumin or buffer of appropriate pH. Lipases from Aspergillus niger and Rhizopus delemar synthesized glycerides from, not only fatty acid, but dibasic acids and aromatic acids, making ester bonds only at position 1 and 3 of glycerol. In contrast, lipases from Geotricum candidum and Penicillium cyclopium synthesized glycerides only from long chain fatty acids, and made ester bonds at all three available positions of the glycerol molecule.
