1 Introduction

Lipases (triacylglycerol acylhydrolases EC 3113) are ubiq-uitous enzymes of considerable physiological significanceand industrial potential [1] Lipases catalyze the hydrolysis oftriacylglycerols to glycerol and free fatty acids Today lipasesare the choice of biocatalyst as they show unique chemo-regio- enantioselectivities which enable the production ofnovel drugs agrochemicals and fine products [2]

Due to the ability of many lipases to perform both hydro-lytic and synthetic reactions they find immense applicationsin industries like foods detergents pharmaceuticals leathercosmetics textile dairy and even biodiesel [3 4]

Lipases are widely present in plants and animals butalmost all the commercially available lipases are usually

obtained from microorganisms that produce a wide varietyof extracellular lipases [5]

Cost of lipase production process was considered as amajor obstacle in the industries Therefore many efforts arebeing made to use wastes as raw materials for lipase produc-tion Agricultural residues for lipase production as well asother value added products would hold a prominent positionin future biotechnologies mainly because of its ecofriend-liness and flexibility to both developing and developedcountries Several residues such as oil cakes fibrous residuesand industrial effluent have increasing attention as abundantand cheap renewable feedstock [5 6] Enzymes from ther-mophiles and alkaliphiles have become the subject of specialinterest for biotechnological applications due to their highstability at adverse operational andor storage conditions [7]

2 Enzyme Research

Many advantages were earned for carrying out biotech-nological and industrial processes in high temperatureshigh solubility of substrates (in particular for poorly solubleor polymeric molecules) resulting in higher product yieldhigher reaction rates increased availability of substratesdecreased risk of microbial contamination and lower vis-cosity of reaction mixtures which in turn reduces the costsrelated to pumping filtration and centrifugation and savinga great power cost would be exploited for cooling [8 9]

In the present study a detailed description of isolationidentification and optimization of TA lipase production con-ditions from G thermoleovorans DA2 will be demonstratedAn attempt to utilize restaurant fatty wastes as the mainsubstrate for lipase production was carried out which mayraise the lipolytic activity and decrease the overall cost of theproduction process In addition this approach has a greatenvironmental endeavor through minimizing the ecologicalhazards accompanied with the accumulation of wastes

The application of TA lipase from G thermoleovoransDA2 in leather tanning process as a degreasing agent replacedthe commonly utilized organic solvent (Kerosene) Kanagarajet al reported that it is fundamental to add hydrolyticenzymes such as lipases and proteases in the soaking step forhelping the fat degradation and raise the leather quality [10]

Substitution of the traditional chemical tanning process-ing with more ecofriendly treating procedures for examplethe enzymatic steps became a necessity because of therecorded environmental hazards resulting from the pollutionof water careless disposal of solid wastes and gaseous emis-sions [11]

Optimum temperature in the present investigation camein correspondence with the optimum temperature for lipaseproduced byG stearothermophilus strain-5 [24] On the otherhand the temperature for the highest production of lipase byG thermodenitrificans AZ1 was 55∘C [25]

Optimum pH value for the present study suggests morealkaliphilic behavior comparing to lipases produced by Geo-bacillus thermoleovorans CCR11 and the alkaliphilic Bacillussp (KS4) which was found to give their highest lipase pro-ductions at pH 8 [26 27] Berekaa et al reported that theoptimum pH for lipase production by G stearothermophilusstrain-5 was 7 [28]

G thermoleovorans DA2 was found to consume 48 hrsto give its maximum production of TA lipase comparing toBacillus thermoleovoransCCR11 which is recorded to producethe highest lipase rate after 44 hrs while the highest produc-tion of lipase by the thermophilic strain Bacillus sp strain 42was recorded after 72 hrs [26 29]

Galactose was found to be the most supportive carbonsource for the TA lipase production by G thermoleovoransDA2 suggesting high ability of the strain to uptake and utilizethe monosaccharide galactose in the metabolic processes oflipase production as the lactose disaccharide was the secondoptimum carbon source Glycerol was found to be the mostinducing carbon source for lipase production by G stearo-thermophilus strain-5 while it is the highest lipase productionby B subtilis ZR-1 supported by the sole olive oil [12 28]

Peptone was the most supportive nitrogen source forlipase production by Bacillus sp LBN2 [30] In contrast mixof yeast extract and peptone was the best for the productionof thermoalkaliphilic lipase by B coagulans BTS-3 [31]Moreover sole yeast extract was the best for lipase producedby B licheniformisMTCC-10498 [32]

Abd El Rahman found that 125 of the slaughter housewaste was the optimum substrate concentration for lipaseproduction by B stearothermophilus B-78 while Gayathri etal have reported that 2 of palm oil was the optimum con-centration for lipase production by B stearothermophilus [3334]

Ten percent (10 vv) was the optimum inoculum forlipase production by B licheniformis MTCC-10498 [32]

However Bacillus flexus XJU-1 gave the best production oflipase depending on 2 (vv) inoculum size while 6 (vv)was the optimum inoculum size for the best lipase productionby Pseudomonas gessardii [35 36]

The optimum revolution per minute for the maximumproduction of TA lipase by G thermoleovorans DA2 wasfound to be 120 rpm which came in complete accordancewith the optimum agitation rate for highest lipase productionby B licheniformisMTCC-10498 [32] while Veerapagu et alreported that the optimized value for greatest lipase produc-tion by Pseudomonas gessardii was 160 rpm [36]

Once samples of sheep leather were treatedwith TA lipaseproduced by the strain G thermoleovorans DA2 mixed withTriton X-100 fatty content of the leather depleted from 175to 25This may be due to the elevated processing tempera-ture which takes a hand in destroying thewalls of skin fat cellsand increase solubility of the fat content very well MoreoverTriton X-100 had supportive effect in reducing the surfacetension of the lipids and facilitated the enzyme efficacy Saranet al recorded degreasing rate more than 95 by 5ndash10mesophilic lipase enzyme produced by Bacillus subtilis solelyafter treating for 12 hrs [11]

Moreover their interpretations came in complete accor-dance with our observations about the higher quality appear-ance and smoothness levels of the enzyme-treated leathercompared to chemically processed skin The obtained resultsare suggesting that advanced efforts to replace the ecohaz-ardous traditional chemical tanning process with the greenenzymatic techniques are worthy to be achieved

5 Conclusion

In the present study thermoalkaliphilic lipase was producedfrom the new bacterial isolate which was identified using thesequence of 16S rRNAgene and biochemical tests asGeobacil-lus thermoleovorans DA2 Wide ranges of growth factorswere studied for maximizing TA lipase enzyme The produc-tion of TA lipase with high amount using cheap substrate(fatty restaurant wastes) made the production process cost-effectiveThe results exhibited the potential application of theTA lipase in leather industry as a degreaser suggesting moreecofriendly tanning processes in the future

Many advantages were earned for carrying out biotech-nological and industrial processes in high temperatureshigh solubility of substrates (in particular for poorly solubleor polymeric molecules) resulting in higher product yieldhigher reaction rates increased availability of substratesdecreased risk of microbial contamination and lower vis-cosity of reaction mixtures which in turn reduces the costsrelated to pumping filtration and centrifugation and savinga great power cost would be exploited for cooling [8 9]

In the present study a detailed description of isolationidentification and optimization of TA lipase production con-ditions from G thermoleovorans DA2 will be demonstratedAn attempt to utilize restaurant fatty wastes as the mainsubstrate for lipase production was carried out which mayraise the lipolytic activity and decrease the overall cost of theproduction process In addition this approach has a greatenvironmental endeavor through minimizing the ecologicalhazards accompanied with the accumulation of wastes

4 Discussion

The applications of lipases are constantly increased in indus-trial and biotechnological fields therefore that should besupported by discovering novel lipase types with improvedcharacters The common about enzymes is their sensitivityto adverse conditions such as high temperature extremeacidity andor alkalinity drought and high salinity but extre-mozymes enzymes derived from extremophilic microorgan-isms are an attractive alternative to tuning a given biocatalystfor a specific industrial application They are capable ofcatalyzing their respective reactions in nonaqueous environ-ments watersolvent mixtures at extremely high pressuresacidic and alkaline pH at temperatures up to 140∘C or near

the freezing point of water [23] The present investigation isan attempt to discover novel bacterial strainswith the capabil-ity of producing lipases able to tolerate high temperature andhigh alkalinity as well Seven of twenty three strains showeddifferent lipolytic activities in incubation temperature 65∘Cand pH 9 the most potent producing strain is identified asGthermoleovorans DA2 selected to further studies as the mostpromising source of thermoalkaliphilic lipase

Optimum temperature in the present investigation camein correspondence with the optimum temperature for lipaseproduced byG stearothermophilus strain-5 [24] On the otherhand the temperature for the highest production of lipase byG thermodenitrificans AZ1 was 55∘C [25]

Optimum pH value for the present study suggests morealkaliphilic behavior comparing to lipases produced by Geo-bacillus thermoleovorans CCR11 and the alkaliphilic Bacillussp (KS4) which was found to give their highest lipase pro-ductions at pH 8 [26 27] Berekaa et al reported that theoptimum pH for lipase production by G stearothermophilusstrain-5 was 7 [28]

G thermoleovorans DA2 was found to consume 48 hrsto give its maximum production of TA lipase comparing toBacillus thermoleovoransCCR11 which is recorded to producethe highest lipase rate after 44 hrs while the highest produc-tion of lipase by the thermophilic strain Bacillus sp strain 42was recorded after 72 hrs [26 29]

Galactose was found to be the most supportive carbonsource for the TA lipase production by G thermoleovoransDA2 suggesting high ability of the strain to uptake and utilizethe monosaccharide galactose in the metabolic processes oflipase production as the lactose disaccharide was the secondoptimum carbon source Glycerol was found to be the mostinducing carbon source for lipase production by G stearo-thermophilus strain-5 while it is the highest lipase productionby B subtilis ZR-1 supported by the sole olive oil [12 28]

Peptone was the most supportive nitrogen source forlipase production by Bacillus sp LBN2 [30] In contrast mixof yeast extract and peptone was the best for the productionof thermoalkaliphilic lipase by B coagulans BTS-3 [31]Moreover sole yeast extract was the best for lipase producedby B licheniformisMTCC-10498 [32]

Abd El Rahman found that 125 of the slaughter housewaste was the optimum substrate concentration for lipaseproduction by B stearothermophilus B-78 while Gayathri etal have reported that 2 of palm oil was the optimum con-centration for lipase production by B stearothermophilus [3334]

Ten percent (10 vv) was the optimum inoculum forlipase production by B licheniformis MTCC-10498 [32]

However Bacillus flexus XJU-1 gave the best production oflipase depending on 2 (vv) inoculum size while 6 (vv)was the optimum inoculum size for the best lipase productionby Pseudomonas gessardii [35 36]

The optimum revolution per minute for the maximumproduction of TA lipase by G thermoleovorans DA2 wasfound to be 120 rpm which came in complete accordancewith the optimum agitation rate for highest lipase productionby B licheniformisMTCC-10498 [32] while Veerapagu et alreported that the optimized value for greatest lipase produc-tion by Pseudomonas gessardii was 160 rpm [36]

Once samples of sheep leather were treatedwith TA lipaseproduced by the strain G thermoleovorans DA2 mixed withTriton X-100 fatty content of the leather depleted from 175to 25This may be due to the elevated processing tempera-ture which takes a hand in destroying thewalls of skin fat cellsand increase solubility of the fat content very well MoreoverTriton X-100 had supportive effect in reducing the surfacetension of the lipids and facilitated the enzyme efficacy Saranet al recorded degreasing rate more than 95 by 5ndash10mesophilic lipase enzyme produced by Bacillus subtilis solelyafter treating for 12 hrs [11]

Moreover their interpretations came in complete accor-dance with our observations about the higher quality appear-ance and smoothness levels of the enzyme-treated leathercompared to chemically processed skin The obtained resultsare suggesting that advanced efforts to replace the ecohaz-ardous traditional chemical tanning process with the greenenzymatic techniques are worthy to be achieved

5 Conclusion

In the present study thermoalkaliphilic lipase was producedfrom the new bacterial isolate which was identified using thesequence of 16S rRNAgene and biochemical tests asGeobacil-lus thermoleovorans DA2 Wide ranges of growth factorswere studied for maximizing TA lipase enzyme The produc-tion of TA lipase with high amount using cheap substrate(fatty restaurant wastes) made the production process cost-effectiveThe results exhibited the potential application of theTA lipase in leather industry as a degreaser suggesting moreecofriendly tanning processes in the future

4 Discussion

The applications of lipases are constantly increased in indus-trial and biotechnological fields therefore that should besupported by discovering novel lipase types with improvedcharacters The common about enzymes is their sensitivityto adverse conditions such as high temperature extremeacidity andor alkalinity drought and high salinity but extre-mozymes enzymes derived from extremophilic microorgan-isms are an attractive alternative to tuning a given biocatalystfor a specific industrial application They are capable ofcatalyzing their respective reactions in nonaqueous environ-ments watersolvent mixtures at extremely high pressuresacidic and alkaline pH at temperatures up to 140∘C or near

the freezing point of water [23] The present investigation isan attempt to discover novel bacterial strainswith the capabil-ity of producing lipases able to tolerate high temperature andhigh alkalinity as well Seven of twenty three strains showeddifferent lipolytic activities in incubation temperature 65∘Cand pH 9 the most potent producing strain is identified asGthermoleovorans DA2 selected to further studies as the mostpromising source of thermoalkaliphilic lipase

Optimum temperature in the present investigation camein correspondence with the optimum temperature for lipaseproduced byG stearothermophilus strain-5 [24] On the otherhand the temperature for the highest production of lipase byG thermodenitrificans AZ1 was 55∘C [25]

Optimum pH value for the present study suggests morealkaliphilic behavior comparing to lipases produced by Geo-bacillus thermoleovorans CCR11 and the alkaliphilic Bacillussp (KS4) which was found to give their highest lipase pro-ductions at pH 8 [26 27] Berekaa et al reported that theoptimum pH for lipase production by G stearothermophilusstrain-5 was 7 [28]

G thermoleovorans DA2 was found to consume 48 hrsto give its maximum production of TA lipase comparing toBacillus thermoleovoransCCR11 which is recorded to producethe highest lipase rate after 44 hrs while the highest produc-tion of lipase by the thermophilic strain Bacillus sp strain 42was recorded after 72 hrs [26 29]

Galactose was found to be the most supportive carbonsource for the TA lipase production by G thermoleovoransDA2 suggesting high ability of the strain to uptake and utilizethe monosaccharide galactose in the metabolic processes oflipase production as the lactose disaccharide was the secondoptimum carbon source Glycerol was found to be the mostinducing carbon source for lipase production by G stearo-thermophilus strain-5 while it is the highest lipase productionby B subtilis ZR-1 supported by the sole olive oil [12 28]

Peptone was the most supportive nitrogen source forlipase production by Bacillus sp LBN2 [30] In contrast mixof yeast extract and peptone was the best for the productionof thermoalkaliphilic lipase by B coagulans BTS-3 [31]Moreover sole yeast extract was the best for lipase producedby B licheniformisMTCC-10498 [32]

Abd El Rahman found that 125 of the slaughter housewaste was the optimum substrate concentration for lipaseproduction by B stearothermophilus B-78 while Gayathri etal have reported that 2 of palm oil was the optimum con-centration for lipase production by B stearothermophilus [3334]

Ten percent (10 vv) was the optimum inoculum forlipase production by B licheniformis MTCC-10498 [32]

However Bacillus flexus XJU-1 gave the best production oflipase depending on 2 (vv) inoculum size while 6 (vv)was the optimum inoculum size for the best lipase productionby Pseudomonas gessardii [35 36]

The optimum revolution per minute for the maximumproduction of TA lipase by G thermoleovorans DA2 wasfound to be 120 rpm which came in complete accordancewith the optimum agitation rate for highest lipase productionby B licheniformisMTCC-10498 [32] while Veerapagu et alreported that the optimized value for greatest lipase produc-tion by Pseudomonas gessardii was 160 rpm [36]

Once samples of sheep leather were treatedwith TA lipaseproduced by the strain G thermoleovorans DA2 mixed withTriton X-100 fatty content of the leather depleted from 175to 25This may be due to the elevated processing tempera-ture which takes a hand in destroying thewalls of skin fat cellsand increase solubility of the fat content very well MoreoverTriton X-100 had supportive effect in reducing the surfacetension of the lipids and facilitated the enzyme efficacy Saranet al recorded degreasing rate more than 95 by 5ndash10mesophilic lipase enzyme produced by Bacillus subtilis solelyafter treating for 12 hrs [11]

Moreover their interpretations came in complete accor-dance with our observations about the higher quality appear-ance and smoothness levels of the enzyme-treated leathercompared to chemically processed skin The obtained resultsare suggesting that advanced efforts to replace the ecohaz-ardous traditional chemical tanning process with the greenenzymatic techniques are worthy to be achieved

5 Conclusion

In the present study thermoalkaliphilic lipase was producedfrom the new bacterial isolate which was identified using thesequence of 16S rRNAgene and biochemical tests asGeobacil-lus thermoleovorans DA2 Wide ranges of growth factorswere studied for maximizing TA lipase enzyme The produc-tion of TA lipase with high amount using cheap substrate(fatty restaurant wastes) made the production process cost-effectiveThe results exhibited the potential application of theTA lipase in leather industry as a degreaser suggesting moreecofriendly tanning processes in the future

the freezing point of water [23] The present investigation isan attempt to discover novel bacterial strainswith the capabil-ity of producing lipases able to tolerate high temperature andhigh alkalinity as well Seven of twenty three strains showeddifferent lipolytic activities in incubation temperature 65∘Cand pH 9 the most potent producing strain is identified asGthermoleovorans DA2 selected to further studies as the mostpromising source of thermoalkaliphilic lipase

Optimum temperature in the present investigation camein correspondence with the optimum temperature for lipaseproduced byG stearothermophilus strain-5 [24] On the otherhand the temperature for the highest production of lipase byG thermodenitrificans AZ1 was 55∘C [25]

Optimum pH value for the present study suggests morealkaliphilic behavior comparing to lipases produced by Geo-bacillus thermoleovorans CCR11 and the alkaliphilic Bacillussp (KS4) which was found to give their highest lipase pro-ductions at pH 8 [26 27] Berekaa et al reported that theoptimum pH for lipase production by G stearothermophilusstrain-5 was 7 [28]

G thermoleovorans DA2 was found to consume 48 hrsto give its maximum production of TA lipase comparing toBacillus thermoleovoransCCR11 which is recorded to producethe highest lipase rate after 44 hrs while the highest produc-tion of lipase by the thermophilic strain Bacillus sp strain 42was recorded after 72 hrs [26 29]

Galactose was found to be the most supportive carbonsource for the TA lipase production by G thermoleovoransDA2 suggesting high ability of the strain to uptake and utilizethe monosaccharide galactose in the metabolic processes oflipase production as the lactose disaccharide was the secondoptimum carbon source Glycerol was found to be the mostinducing carbon source for lipase production by G stearo-thermophilus strain-5 while it is the highest lipase productionby B subtilis ZR-1 supported by the sole olive oil [12 28]

Peptone was the most supportive nitrogen source forlipase production by Bacillus sp LBN2 [30] In contrast mixof yeast extract and peptone was the best for the productionof thermoalkaliphilic lipase by B coagulans BTS-3 [31]Moreover sole yeast extract was the best for lipase producedby B licheniformisMTCC-10498 [32]

Abd El Rahman found that 125 of the slaughter housewaste was the optimum substrate concentration for lipaseproduction by B stearothermophilus B-78 while Gayathri etal have reported that 2 of palm oil was the optimum con-centration for lipase production by B stearothermophilus [3334]

Ten percent (10 vv) was the optimum inoculum forlipase production by B licheniformis MTCC-10498 [32]

However Bacillus flexus XJU-1 gave the best production oflipase depending on 2 (vv) inoculum size while 6 (vv)was the optimum inoculum size for the best lipase productionby Pseudomonas gessardii [35 36]

The optimum revolution per minute for the maximumproduction of TA lipase by G thermoleovorans DA2 wasfound to be 120 rpm which came in complete accordancewith the optimum agitation rate for highest lipase productionby B licheniformisMTCC-10498 [32] while Veerapagu et alreported that the optimized value for greatest lipase produc-tion by Pseudomonas gessardii was 160 rpm [36]

Once samples of sheep leather were treatedwith TA lipaseproduced by the strain G thermoleovorans DA2 mixed withTriton X-100 fatty content of the leather depleted from 175to 25This may be due to the elevated processing tempera-ture which takes a hand in destroying thewalls of skin fat cellsand increase solubility of the fat content very well MoreoverTriton X-100 had supportive effect in reducing the surfacetension of the lipids and facilitated the enzyme efficacy Saranet al recorded degreasing rate more than 95 by 5ndash10mesophilic lipase enzyme produced by Bacillus subtilis solelyafter treating for 12 hrs [11]

Moreover their interpretations came in complete accor-dance with our observations about the higher quality appear-ance and smoothness levels of the enzyme-treated leathercompared to chemically processed skin The obtained resultsare suggesting that advanced efforts to replace the ecohaz-ardous traditional chemical tanning process with the greenenzymatic techniques are worthy to be achieved

5 Conclusion

In the present study thermoalkaliphilic lipase was producedfrom the new bacterial isolate which was identified using thesequence of 16S rRNAgene and biochemical tests asGeobacil-lus thermoleovorans DA2 Wide ranges of growth factorswere studied for maximizing TA lipase enzyme The produc-tion of TA lipase with high amount using cheap substrate(fatty restaurant wastes) made the production process cost-effectiveThe results exhibited the potential application of theTA lipase in leather industry as a degreaser suggesting moreecofriendly tanning processes in the future

the freezing point of water [23] The present investigation isan attempt to discover novel bacterial strainswith the capabil-ity of producing lipases able to tolerate high temperature andhigh alkalinity as well Seven of twenty three strains showeddifferent lipolytic activities in incubation temperature 65∘Cand pH 9 the most potent producing strain is identified asGthermoleovorans DA2 selected to further studies as the mostpromising source of thermoalkaliphilic lipase

Optimum temperature in the present investigation camein correspondence with the optimum temperature for lipaseproduced byG stearothermophilus strain-5 [24] On the otherhand the temperature for the highest production of lipase byG thermodenitrificans AZ1 was 55∘C [25]

Optimum pH value for the present study suggests morealkaliphilic behavior comparing to lipases produced by Geo-bacillus thermoleovorans CCR11 and the alkaliphilic Bacillussp (KS4) which was found to give their highest lipase pro-ductions at pH 8 [26 27] Berekaa et al reported that theoptimum pH for lipase production by G stearothermophilusstrain-5 was 7 [28]

G thermoleovorans DA2 was found to consume 48 hrsto give its maximum production of TA lipase comparing toBacillus thermoleovoransCCR11 which is recorded to producethe highest lipase rate after 44 hrs while the highest produc-tion of lipase by the thermophilic strain Bacillus sp strain 42was recorded after 72 hrs [26 29]

Galactose was found to be the most supportive carbonsource for the TA lipase production by G thermoleovoransDA2 suggesting high ability of the strain to uptake and utilizethe monosaccharide galactose in the metabolic processes oflipase production as the lactose disaccharide was the secondoptimum carbon source Glycerol was found to be the mostinducing carbon source for lipase production by G stearo-thermophilus strain-5 while it is the highest lipase productionby B subtilis ZR-1 supported by the sole olive oil [12 28]

Peptone was the most supportive nitrogen source forlipase production by Bacillus sp LBN2 [30] In contrast mixof yeast extract and peptone was the best for the productionof thermoalkaliphilic lipase by B coagulans BTS-3 [31]Moreover sole yeast extract was the best for lipase producedby B licheniformisMTCC-10498 [32]

Abd El Rahman found that 125 of the slaughter housewaste was the optimum substrate concentration for lipaseproduction by B stearothermophilus B-78 while Gayathri etal have reported that 2 of palm oil was the optimum con-centration for lipase production by B stearothermophilus [3334]

Ten percent (10 vv) was the optimum inoculum forlipase production by B licheniformis MTCC-10498 [32]

However Bacillus flexus XJU-1 gave the best production oflipase depending on 2 (vv) inoculum size while 6 (vv)was the optimum inoculum size for the best lipase productionby Pseudomonas gessardii [35 36]

The optimum revolution per minute for the maximumproduction of TA lipase by G thermoleovorans DA2 wasfound to be 120 rpm which came in complete accordancewith the optimum agitation rate for highest lipase productionby B licheniformisMTCC-10498 [32] while Veerapagu et alreported that the optimized value for greatest lipase produc-tion by Pseudomonas gessardii was 160 rpm [36]

Once samples of sheep leather were treatedwith TA lipaseproduced by the strain G thermoleovorans DA2 mixed withTriton X-100 fatty content of the leather depleted from 175to 25This may be due to the elevated processing tempera-ture which takes a hand in destroying thewalls of skin fat cellsand increase solubility of the fat content very well MoreoverTriton X-100 had supportive effect in reducing the surfacetension of the lipids and facilitated the enzyme efficacy Saranet al recorded degreasing rate more than 95 by 5ndash10mesophilic lipase enzyme produced by Bacillus subtilis solelyafter treating for 12 hrs [11]

Moreover their interpretations came in complete accor-dance with our observations about the higher quality appear-ance and smoothness levels of the enzyme-treated leathercompared to chemically processed skin The obtained resultsare suggesting that advanced efforts to replace the ecohaz-ardous traditional chemical tanning process with the greenenzymatic techniques are worthy to be achieved

5 Conclusion

In the present study thermoalkaliphilic lipase was producedfrom the new bacterial isolate which was identified using thesequence of 16S rRNAgene and biochemical tests asGeobacil-lus thermoleovorans DA2 Wide ranges of growth factorswere studied for maximizing TA lipase enzyme The produc-tion of TA lipase with high amount using cheap substrate(fatty restaurant wastes) made the production process cost-effectiveThe results exhibited the potential application of theTA lipase in leather industry as a degreaser suggesting moreecofriendly tanning processes in the future

the freezing point of water [23] The present investigation isan attempt to discover novel bacterial strainswith the capabil-ity of producing lipases able to tolerate high temperature andhigh alkalinity as well Seven of twenty three strains showeddifferent lipolytic activities in incubation temperature 65∘Cand pH 9 the most potent producing strain is identified asGthermoleovorans DA2 selected to further studies as the mostpromising source of thermoalkaliphilic lipase

Optimum temperature in the present investigation camein correspondence with the optimum temperature for lipaseproduced byG stearothermophilus strain-5 [24] On the otherhand the temperature for the highest production of lipase byG thermodenitrificans AZ1 was 55∘C [25]

Optimum pH value for the present study suggests morealkaliphilic behavior comparing to lipases produced by Geo-bacillus thermoleovorans CCR11 and the alkaliphilic Bacillussp (KS4) which was found to give their highest lipase pro-ductions at pH 8 [26 27] Berekaa et al reported that theoptimum pH for lipase production by G stearothermophilusstrain-5 was 7 [28]

G thermoleovorans DA2 was found to consume 48 hrsto give its maximum production of TA lipase comparing toBacillus thermoleovoransCCR11 which is recorded to producethe highest lipase rate after 44 hrs while the highest produc-tion of lipase by the thermophilic strain Bacillus sp strain 42was recorded after 72 hrs [26 29]

Galactose was found to be the most supportive carbonsource for the TA lipase production by G thermoleovoransDA2 suggesting high ability of the strain to uptake and utilizethe monosaccharide galactose in the metabolic processes oflipase production as the lactose disaccharide was the secondoptimum carbon source Glycerol was found to be the mostinducing carbon source for lipase production by G stearo-thermophilus strain-5 while it is the highest lipase productionby B subtilis ZR-1 supported by the sole olive oil [12 28]

Peptone was the most supportive nitrogen source forlipase production by Bacillus sp LBN2 [30] In contrast mixof yeast extract and peptone was the best for the productionof thermoalkaliphilic lipase by B coagulans BTS-3 [31]Moreover sole yeast extract was the best for lipase producedby B licheniformisMTCC-10498 [32]

Abd El Rahman found that 125 of the slaughter housewaste was the optimum substrate concentration for lipaseproduction by B stearothermophilus B-78 while Gayathri etal have reported that 2 of palm oil was the optimum con-centration for lipase production by B stearothermophilus [3334]

Ten percent (10 vv) was the optimum inoculum forlipase production by B licheniformis MTCC-10498 [32]

However Bacillus flexus XJU-1 gave the best production oflipase depending on 2 (vv) inoculum size while 6 (vv)was the optimum inoculum size for the best lipase productionby Pseudomonas gessardii [35 36]

The optimum revolution per minute for the maximumproduction of TA lipase by G thermoleovorans DA2 wasfound to be 120 rpm which came in complete accordancewith the optimum agitation rate for highest lipase productionby B licheniformisMTCC-10498 [32] while Veerapagu et alreported that the optimized value for greatest lipase produc-tion by Pseudomonas gessardii was 160 rpm [36]

Once samples of sheep leather were treatedwith TA lipaseproduced by the strain G thermoleovorans DA2 mixed withTriton X-100 fatty content of the leather depleted from 175to 25This may be due to the elevated processing tempera-ture which takes a hand in destroying thewalls of skin fat cellsand increase solubility of the fat content very well MoreoverTriton X-100 had supportive effect in reducing the surfacetension of the lipids and facilitated the enzyme efficacy Saranet al recorded degreasing rate more than 95 by 5ndash10mesophilic lipase enzyme produced by Bacillus subtilis solelyafter treating for 12 hrs [11]

Moreover their interpretations came in complete accor-dance with our observations about the higher quality appear-ance and smoothness levels of the enzyme-treated leathercompared to chemically processed skin The obtained resultsare suggesting that advanced efforts to replace the ecohaz-ardous traditional chemical tanning process with the greenenzymatic techniques are worthy to be achieved

5 Conclusion

In the present study thermoalkaliphilic lipase was producedfrom the new bacterial isolate which was identified using thesequence of 16S rRNAgene and biochemical tests asGeobacil-lus thermoleovorans DA2 Wide ranges of growth factorswere studied for maximizing TA lipase enzyme The produc-tion of TA lipase with high amount using cheap substrate(fatty restaurant wastes) made the production process cost-effectiveThe results exhibited the potential application of theTA lipase in leather industry as a degreaser suggesting moreecofriendly tanning processes in the future
