Biodiesel (fatty acid methyl esters), which is derived from triglycerides by transesterification
with methanol, has attracted considerable attention during the past decade as a renewable …

The chemical-catalyzed transesterification of vegetable oils to biodiesel has been
industrially adopted due to its high conversion rates and low production time. However, this …

Lipases (triacylglycerol acylhydrolases, EC 3.1. 1.3) catalyze the hydrolysis and the
synthesis of esters formed from glycerol and long-chain fatty acids. Lipases occur widely in …

From reviews to the first edtion:" Bornscheuer and Kazlauskas have set out, and succeeded,
in producing a definitive manual on hydrolytic enzymes (especially lipases, esterases, and …

We have isolated a lipolytic strain from palm fruit that was identified as a Rhizopus oryzae.
Culture conditions were optimized and highest lipase production amounting to 120 U/ml was …

Lipases (triacylglycerol hydrolases, EC 3.1. 1.3) occupy a prominent place among
biocatalysts and carry out reactions in aqueous and non-aqueous media. They catalyze both …

Lipases are biocatalysts with a significant potential to enable a shift from current pollutant
manufacturing processes to environmentally sustainable approaches. The main reason of …

We constructed a novel cell-surface display system, using as a new type of cell-wall anchor
3,297 or 4,341 bp of the 3′ region of the FLO1 gene (FS or FL gene, respectively), which …

Yeasts are promising hosts for industrial bio-refinery applications. In yeast cell surface
displays, functional proteins, such as cellulases or lipases, are genetically fused to an …

Rhizopus oryzae is a filamentous fungus belonging to the Zygomycetes. It is among others
known for its ability to produce the sustainable platform chemicals l-(+)-lactic acid, fumaric …
