Aspergillus flavus produces a lipase (EC 3.1.1.3) which is partly bound to the mycelium during growth. The production of the mycelium-bound lipase is concomitant with growth, and declines when growth ceases. Maximum productivity of the enzyme is obtained when the culture is incubated at 30°C, an ini...
