Abstract

Abstract In the present study, the specific hydrolytic activity of three biocatalysts such as the constitutive mycelium-bound lipase, the induced mycelium-bound lipase and the lyophilized induced supernatant from A. niger MYA 135 was evaluated in both aqueous and organic media. A direct correlation between activity in water and n-hexane was not observed for the same hydrolytic reaction. The n-hexane/water activity ratio (RO/A) was applied to ...
