Evaluation of micromycetes isolated from oil-contaminated soils for lipolytic activity

In the conducted studies, 116 strains of micromycetes were isolated from the soil contaminated with oil to different degrees in the Republic of Azerbaijan 41,4% of which belonged to Aspergillus, Pencillium and Mucor . Screening of all isolated strains for lipolytic activity revealed that 67,2% of them had lipolytic activity, and the level of activity is characterized by different indicators, even at the level of the same genus. As a result of the screening, 3 strains with the highest activity were selected, and the medium was optimized for them to synthesize the enzymes with lipolytic activity maximally.
