Abstract

Fusarium is a large genus of filamentous fungi which cause some of the most important diseases in agricultural and horticultural crops. This fungus is considered to be a useful producer of enzymes from an industrial point of view. In the present study, lipase production by Fusarium culmorum SY6 was investigated under solid-state fermentation (SSF). Among the several agronomic wastes, corn cob hulls and tomato pulp supported the highest yield of lipase (170 and 165 U/g of dry substrate, respectively) after five days of incubation. It was determined that pH 9 and 60°C gave optimum
enzyme activity. The F. culmorum SY6 strain grown in SSF in a simple medium proved to be a promising microorganism for lipase production.
