High lipid accumulating bacteria isolated from dairy effluent scum grown on dairy wastewater as potential biodiesel feedstock.

The study evaluated the lipid accumulation potential of bacteria isolated from dairy effluent scum by the valorization of dairy wastewater as a renewable feedstock for biodiesel production. Three oleaginous bacteria (i.e.

Optimization of physical parameters for enhanced production of lipase from Staphylococcus hominis using response surface methodology.

Lipase, a versatile hydrolytic enzyme, is gaining more importance in environmental applications such as treatment of oil and grease containing wastewater, pretreatment of solid waste/industrial wastewater for anaerobic treatment. In the present study, the attempts have been made to improve the production of lipase from Staphylococcus hominis MTCC 8980 by optimization of pH, temperature, and agitation speed in lab scale shake flasks culture. The experiments were designed using the full factorial central composite design of experiment.
