Abstract: Bacteria produce lipases efficiently, having a wide range of applications in different industries. In the present study, lipase producing bacteria were isolated from different oil contaminated soil samples collected from Karnataka, India. Lipase producing bacteria were initially screened on tributyrate agar media and confirmed on Rhodamine B olive oil agar media. Among 35 lipase producing bacterial isolates, the potential isolate RV22 was subjected to biochemical characterization. And the bacterial strain RV22 identified as Serratia sp.
Keywords: Lipase, Serratia sp., optimization, Rhodamine B, fluorescence.
