Fig. 1.

Effect of different level of substrate on lipase production by wild-type (Isl-9) and mutant strain (EM-7) of R. oligosporus. Distilled water 10 ml, time of incubation 72 h, temperature 30°C. --, Wild-type Isl-9; -Ο-, Mutant strain EM-7. Y-error bars state standard deviation (±SD 5%) among the values of three parallel replicates.

Effect of different moisture content and pH on lipase production by wild-type (Isl-9) and mutant strain (EM-7) of R. oligosporus. Almond meal 15 g, time of incubation 72 h, temperature 30°C. Y-error bars state standard deviation (±SD 5%) among the values of three parallel replicates. For symbols, see Figure 1.

Fig. 3.

Effect of moisture level on lipase production by wild-type (Isl-9) and mutant strain (EM-7) of R. oligosporus. Almond meal 15 g, moisture tris-HCl, pH 7, time of incubation 72 h, temperature 30°C. Y-error bars state standard deviation (±SD 5%) among the values of three parallel replicates. For symbols, see Figure 1.

Fig. 4.

Time of incubation for lipase production by wild-type (Isl-9) and mutant strain (EM-7) of R. oligosporus. Almond meal 15 g, moisture 12.5 ml tris-HCl, pH 7, temperature 30°C. Y-error bars state standard deviation (±SD 5%) among the values of three parallel replicates. For symbols, see Figure 1.

Fig. 5.

Kinetics of specific growth rate (µ h–1) and product yield coefficient (Yp/x g cells/g) for lipase production by wild-type (Isl-9) and mutant strain (EM-7) of R. oligosporus. Almond meal 15 g, moisture 12.5 ml tris-HCl, pH 7, time of incubation 72 h, temperature 30°C. Y-error bars state standard deviation (±SD 5%) among the values of three parallel replicates. The sum mean values in each set vary significantly at p≤0.05. For symbols, see Figure 1.

Effect of temperature on lipase production by wild-type (Isl-9) and mutant strain (EM-7) of R. oligosporus. Almond meal 15 g, moisture 12.5 ml tris-HCl, pH 7, time of incubation 72 h. Y-error bars state standard deviation (±SD 5%) among the values of three parallel replicates. The sum mean values in each set vary significantly at p≤0.05. For symbols, see Figure 1.
