Abstrakt: A lipase from a wild strain ofPenicillium citrinumwas encapsulated in AOT/isooctane-reversed micelles, and the kinetic parameters were studied relative to triolein hydrolysis. Lipolytic activity was strongly dependent on the water amount in the system (Wo) and presented a bell-shaped curve for this parameter, with a maximum in the range of Wo10–15. Optimum conditions for enzyme activity were pH 8.0 and 45‡C. The influence of substrate concentration was also studied. The enzyme showed a Michaelis-Menten behavior and the apparent kinetics constants were calculated as beingVmax.app.- 120 U/mg and Kmapp= 49.2 mM.
