Lipolytic activity

Lipolytic Activities of Bacteria Isolated from Oil Palm Fruit Heaps Obtained in Towns of Five Local Government Areas of Rivers State, Nigeria

A. A. Okwelle, T. J. Itari & G. A. Uzah · Microbiology Research Journal International · 2026

Oil palm fruit heap wastes contain various microorganisms with high lipolytic potential and opportunities for biotechnological uses. Although there has been a growing interest in bacterial lipase, very little is known about the types and lipolytic capacities of the bacteria that...
