Characterization of Lipase Produced by Thermophilic Fungi Isolated From Pome

A plate assay to determine lipase activity was developed. Tween 80, used as a substrate with Victoria Blue B as the indicator seemed to be a reliable technique. Lipolytic activity was determined by the formation of the zone of intensification of the indicator colour after 24 hr. Intensity of the...
