	PRODUCTION PROCESS OF EXTRACELLULAR LIPASES BY FUSARIUM SP. USING AGRICULTURAL BYPRODUCTS TEHREEMA IFTIKHAR¹, MUBASHIR NIAZ^1, ERUM ASGHAR ALI¹, RUKHSANA JABEEN² AND ROHEENA ABDULLAH³ Abstract: The study is designed to optimize eco-cultural conditions for extracellular lipase production by Fusarium* sp. under solid state fermentation conditions by using different agricultural byproducts. Almond meal yielded maximum extracellular lipase production (3.48±0.01^a U/mL). Study was made for other parameters also. Inoculum size @1mL, volume of diluent @ 10mL, incubation temperature @ 30^oC, Peptone @ 1%, Glucose @1% and olive oil @ 1% were found to be the most suitable conditions for optimum extracellular lipase production. Maximum production of the extracellular lipase (56.7±0.01^a U/mL) was obtained at 72hours of incubation time. ¹Laboratory of Mycology & Biotechnology, Department of Botany, Government College University Faisalabad, Pakistan ²Department of Botany, Sardar Bahadur Khan University, Quetta, Pakistan ³Department of Biotechnology and Microbiology Lahore College for women university, Lahore, Pakistan *Corresponding author: +92419201488; +923214230801, mniaz_prof@yahoo.com
