Abstract

The lypolytic activity of extracts from G. versiforme spores was detected and measured in in vitro assays using triolein as a substrate. Among the different subcellular fractions assayed, a membrane-rich one showed the greatest lipolytic activity. Like other membrane-bound enzymes, G. versiforme lipase was well extracted in presence of detergent. The time-course of triolein hydrolysis by several lipase preparations was studied. The partial purification of the lipase from the total homogenate revealed increasing enzyme specific activities in the following order: homogenate < sediment at 13 000 g for 30 min < acetone powder < fraction obtained by gel permeation chromatography. The molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated to be 30 kDa as determined by gel filtration column chromatography.
