Screening and molecular identification of lipolytic bacteria associated with a palm oil mill effluent from a palm oil processing plant in Agbogbo, Ile-Ife, southwestern Nigeria
We characterized palm oil mill effluent (POME)-isolated bacteria capable of producing lipase. Water samples were collected and serially diluted, and bacteria were isolated from the diluted samples using standard methods. The bacteria were investigated for lipase production using tributyrin agar assay and subsequent fer...
