ABSTRACT  
The presents study deals with screening of lipase producers from the lipase rich environment like petrol bank,  
Auto mobile shops from soil sample. The micro organisms have the ability to produce the lot amount of lipase.  
The sample was collected from (petrol bank, Auto mobile shops). Tributyrin agar medium was prepared 14  
strains were isolated from that 2 strains able to produce lipase. The bacterial strain confirmed by biochemical  
method. The isolated bacterial strain are Bacillus sp. and Pseudomonas sp. The bacterial strains need temperature  
around 350 c, PH 7, olive oil as a carbon source and Incubation for 48hr. If the temperature is higher the enzyme  
productivity is also high. Thin layer chromatography of lipids revealed that bacillus sp has higher lipase activity  
than pseudomonas sp.  
The present study revealed that extracellular lipase production by  
Bacillus sp. and Pseudomonas sp. isolated from soil samples was found to be accelerated at optimized culture  
conditions such as medium pit, temperature and carbon source. From the result, it could be concluded that the  
medium pH of 7.0 and temperature 350c were optimum for maximizing lipase production by Bacillus sp. and  
Pseudomonas sp. Inferred that the optimum contain based on this study lipase activity is higher in Bacillus sp.  
and Pseudomonas sp. than compare other 12 strains.

INTRODUCTION  
Enzymes are biomolecules that catalyze (i.e. Increase that rate of) chemical reactions. Almost all enzymes are  
proteins in nature. A very important property of an enzyme in its specificity and selectivity.The biological  
relevance and variability of lipids described above has led to the development of a great variety by lipid –  
degrading enzymes throughout all kingdoms of life. Among them, lipase are hydrolytic enzymes that catalyses  
the cleavage of ester bonds in triglycerides and producing glycerol and free fatty acids, are considered to be  
some of the most important biocatalysts due to their widespread biological functions and due to their  
biotechnological potential(Bornscheuer, 2002).  
Lipases are widely distributed among bacteria, fungi, plants and animal , although they are more frequently  
found in microorganisms .Their physiological functions are not yet clear for many of them, although they seem  
to be involved, in general, in the bioconversions of lipids (mainly TAGs) between different organism or into the  
same organism (Pandey et al., 1999).If bacteria source bacteria is the most important source for lipase. They are  
many lipase productions bacteria are Bacillus, Bacillus subtitis, Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus termoleavorans,  
Bacillus stearothermophilus, Bacillus sphaericus, aerogenesa, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Preuclomonase sp.  
etc.Lipolytic activity of difficult to determine due to the fact that lipases are water soluble enzymes acting on  
water insoluble substrate concentration at the interface or the use of different detergents must be taken into  
account to interpret the activity and the enzyme kinetics obtained.

Chromatographic techniques can be used to detect or quantity FAs released from TAGs and other lipids. These  
techniques are very sensitive, although, they are time consuming. The most common ones are: silicic acid  
columns, thin layer chromatography, gas liquid chromatography of FA methyl esters, and high performance  
liquid chromatography (HPLC) .The latest is usually performed by detecting b naphtol or P nitro phenol  
released as a result of lipolytic activity on their corresponding FAs ester derivatives. Chromatographic assays  
are also used for detecting the reaction products of lipases in reactions of synthesis or acyl exchange, as well as  
for assaying the enantioselectivity of these enzymes.(Jaeges et al., 1999).Bacterial lipases are gaining an  
increasing interest due to their potential as biotechnological catalysts, as well as by their role as virulence factors  
in some pathogenic bacteria(Rosenau& Jaeger, 2000).  
Understanding the mechanisms of gene expression, folding, and secretion of bacteria lipases, as well as their  
enzymatic properties is essential for improving the biotechnological application of these enzymes, and for the  
treatment of lipase related diseases (Rosenau & Jaeger, 2000).  
Lipases are used in situ, and sometimes together with other enzymes, during the elaboration of bread, cheese,  
and other foods to improve their shelf life and their rheological properties, or to produce armas or emulgents.  
Moreover, they are used ex situ to produce flavors, and to modify the structure or composition of AGS by inter  
or transesterification, in order to obtain AGs with an increased nutritional value, or suitable for parenteral  
feeding (Gunstone,1999; Reetz, 2002).Bacteria (and fungal) lipases the most versatile and widely used class of  
enzymes in biotechnological applications and organic chemistry.  
This is reflected by more than 1000 original articles and reviews on lipase and lipase applications that appear  
each year, and by a the fact that the use of lipase in biotechnology was a business of more than1.5 billion U.S.  
dollar in year 2000( Jaeger & Eggert, 2002; Gupta et al., 2004).  
MATERIALS AND METHODS  
Sample Collection and Isolation of Bacteria

and lipase are generally identified as yellow spots.(yin.h.,j.Qiang 2008) .  
RESULT AND DISCUSSION  
Naturally occurring microorganisms’ are having ability to produce the various enzymes. Now a day’s most of  
the enzyme is industrially important and human welfare. Lipase is one of the important enzymes, which can be  
produced from microorganisms.  
In this study, the bacterial strain was isolated from auto mobile shops and petrol bank soil from Thanjavur. The  
samples were inoculated on tributyrin agar plate by serial dilution using sterile distilled water. 14 bacterial strains  
were isolated from the sample. Then screening medium was prepared from 14bactria strain are produce lipase  
(Plate: 1). The samples contained 2.06 x 10⁶ CFU/ml (plate: 1).  
Then the dominant organism were isolated and individually streaked on tributyrin (Hi media 0>1), agar plates  
and the formation at halo zone around the colony on tributyrin agar was considered as the positive colony for  
lipase production  
Biochemical characters:  
Enrichment culture technique enabled the isolation of strain with lipolytic activity in tributyrin media plates.  
The lipolytic microbes were further and reactions and then identified as Gram positive, rod shaped motile  
organism. (Table: 1). Finally the morphological and biochemical test indicated that the suspected organism were  
Bacillus sp. and the lipolytic microbes were further and reactions and then identified as Gram negative, rod  
shaped, motile organism. The morphological and biochemical test indicated that the suspected organism were  
Pseudomonas sp.

Effect of pH:  
Fig:4 In our study the lipase production by Bacillus sp. produced the maximum lipase at pH 7and lipase was  
minimum at pH4.  
In our study the lipase production by Pseudomonas sp. production the maximum lipase at pH 7and lipase was  
minimum at pH4.  
Effect of carbon source:  
Fig:5  
Growth and lipase production were determined at 12h interval up to 42h using different carbon source.  
The growth and lipase production by the organism were higher in olive oil and lower in coconut oil. It have also  
reported olive as the best carbon source.  
Analysis of lipase:  
Lipase isolated by acid precipitation method at pH was identified by TLC method. Bacillus sp. and Pseudomonas  
sp. was identified by yellow colour spot. The volue of Rhamo lipid are 0.78,0.64,oil and petrol. Bacillus sp.  
have higher lipase activity. The Pseudomonas sp. has low lipase activity.  
The dominant organism were isolated by streaking on tributyrin agar plates and the formation of halo zone  
around the colony on tributryrin agar was considered as the positive colony. Enrichment culture technique  
enabled the isolation of strain with lipolytic activity in tributrin media plates. The lipolytic microbes were further  
screened and characterized.  
The optimum temperature for lipase production by Bacillus coagulans was observed to be 35°C, However the  
organism showed on growth below 20°C and 40°C. Similar the same result were also reported by [A. Thomas  
et al., 2003].  
Similar result were obtained, maximum growth was achieved after 44h of incubation at 35°C. The lipase  
production was detected in the late logarithmic phase (after 20h), and increased until optimum production was  
achieved, after 48h of incubation. The production of degradative enzymes tends to occur during the late  
logarithmic phase of growth, when all density is high [Rahman et al., 2005].  
Bacillus coagulans produced by the maximum lipase at pH₄, Jose and Kurup have also reported pH₇, for the  
optimal lipase production in Bacillus pumilus.  
The pH of the culture dropped from the initial neutral pH to a pH of 5.3 during the first 12h of incubation. This  
might be attributed to the production of acids during bacterial growth. However, the pH of the culture medium  
increased gradually to a pH of 8.5 after 24h. The pH then gradually dropped, and remained unchanged at pH  
7.8 after 48h. The rise in pH after 12h of incubation may be due to the utilization of organic acids or the  
production of alkaline compounds during this period.  
The growth and lipase production by the organism were high in olive oil and least in coconut oil (Kamine et al.,  
and Bhushan and Hoon dial) have also reported olive oil and the best carbon source.

Interpredation  
As reported by (Nakashima et al., 1988) the presence of olive oil as growth medium greatly enhanced the lipase  
activity of bacillus strain (B₁) in the present study. As reported by (Tsuzuki et al., 1999). The presence of olive  
oil as growth medium greatly enhanced the lipase activity of Pseudomonas sp. strain (B₂) in the present study.  
Thin layer chromatography of lipids revealed that Bacillus sp. has higher lipase activity when compared to  
pseudomonas sp.  
Lipase production increased with incubation time up to 48 hours in both organisms.  
Maximum enzyme activity was observed at 48 hours:  
Bacillus subtilis = 65 U/mL  
Pseudomonas aeruginosa = 100 U/mL  
After 48 hours, lipase production gradually decreased.  
The reduction in enzyme activity at longer incubation periods may be due to:  
nutrient depletion,  
accumulation of toxic metabolites,  
changes in pH,  
enzyme degradation The paper conclutes  
Pseudomonas aeruginosa produced higher lipase activity than Bacillus subtilis at all incubation periods,  
indicating its greater efficiency as a lipase-producing organism

Lipase Enzyme Production in Thin Layer Chromatography  
Photo-1  
The study demonstrated that both bacterial species produced extracellular lipase, but Pseudomonas aeruginosa  
showed significantly higher enzyme activity under optimized conditions. Maximum production occurred at:  
pH 7  
Temperature 37°C  
Incubation time 48 hours  
The higher lipase yield by Pseudomonas aeruginosa may be due to its strong extracellular enzyme secretion  
system.  
Both Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are efficient lipase producers. However, Pseudomonas  
aeruginosa exhibited superior lipase activity and better optimization response. These organisms can be exploited  
for industrial lipase production.
