The World Health Organization has identified multidrug-resistant bacteria as a serious global health threat. Gram-negative bacteria are particularly prone to antibiotic resistance, and their high rate of antibiotic resistance has been suggested to be related to the complex structure of their cell membrane. The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria contains lipopolysaccharides that protect the bacteria against threats such as antibiotics, while the inner membrane houses 20-30% of the bacterial cellular proteins.

Fungal lipases are the leading industrial biocatalyst due to their broad applications, but high cost limits their commercial usage. The low-cost agri-residues substrates can reduce the cost of lipase production. However, the compatibility of agri-residue with fungal species, recovery process of lipase and stability of the enzyme are crucial steps.
