Resumo Inglês:

In this study, twelve fungal lipase producing strains belonging to Aspergillus, Penicillium, Trichoderma and Mucor
genera were isolated from palm oil mill effluent composts. The Aspergillus spp. were more frequent (42%) and was
present in all the samples assayed. Mucor sp. was the least encountered (8.3%).The lipase producing profile showed
that Trichoderma (8.07-8.24 u/mL) and Aspergillus (6.25 -7.54 u/mL) spp. were the highest lipase producers while
Mucor (5.72 u/mL) was the least.
