Production of Lipases - Lipases hydrolyse fats (triglycerides) into diglycerides, monoglycerides, fatty acids and glycerol. They are used primarily in medicines as digestive enzymes to supplement pancreatic lipases.

Lipases are produced and secreted out by many fungi and bacteria such as Penicillium chrysogenum, Pseudomonas fragi, Rhizopus delamar, Aspergillus niger, Mucor sp., Staphylococcus aureus etc.
