Penicillium cyclopium produces two lipases with different substrate specificities. Lipase I is predominantly active on triacylglycerols whereas lipase II hydrolyzes mono- and diacylglycerols but not triacylglycerols. In this study, we compared the kinetic properties of P. cyclopium lipases and human pancreatic lipase, a classical triacylglycerol lipase, by using vinyl esters as substrates. Results indicate that P. cyclopium lipases I and II and human pancreatic lipase hydrolyze solutions of vinyl propionate or vinyl butyrate at high relative rates compared with emulsions of the same esters, although, in all cases, maximal activity is reached in the presence of emulsified particles, at substrate concentrations above the solubility limit. It appears that partially water-soluble short-chain vinyl esters are suitable substrates for comparing the activity of lipolytic enzymes of different origin and specificity toward esters in solution and in emulsion.

Lard is a by-product of animal processing. It is inexpensive compared with vegetable oils; however, its use is limited due to the high calorific value and high-saturated fatty acid content. While using lard as the source of free fatty acids (FFA) can significantly increase its utilization value.

lipase I (PCL) is a thermolabile triacylglycerol lipase with very low activity against monoacylglycerols, and there have been no reports on the transesterification of oil to produce biodiesel. A mutant PCL with an improved thermostability was previously obtained through replacing Gly47 with Ile in PCL. In this study, a novel whole-cell biocatalyst (WCB) with overexpression of PCL was constructed and characterized for biodiesel production from soybean oil.

A cDNA gene encoding a mature peptide of the mono- and diacylglycerol lipase (abbreviated to PcMdl) from Penicillium cyclopium PG37 was cloned and expressed in Pichia pastoris GS115. The recombinant PcMdl (rePcMdl) with an apparent molecular weight of 39 kDa showed the highest activity (40.5 U/mL of culture supernatant) on 1,2-dibutyrin substrate at temperature 35°C and pH 7.

Five of 8 fungal lipases screened were found to effectively hydrolyze astaxanthin esters from Haematococcus pluvialis algal cell extracts. Among these, an alkaline lipase from Penicillium cyclopium, expressed in Pichia pastoris, had the highest enzymolysis efficiency. Tween80 was shown to be an effective emulsifier in this lipase hydrolysis system for the 1st time.
