ABSTRACT: Olive mill wastewaters (OMW) are effluents originated from olive oil extraction. As an oil-rich residue, OMW is a potential source of lipase-producing microorganisms and a complex medium potentially suitable for lipase production. The aim of the present study was to isolate yeasts with the ability to produce extracellular lipases from OMW. Thirty-two yeast isolates were obtained and screening for este...

Nas regiões da bacia mediterrânica, o processo de extração de azeite por três fases produz aproximadamente 7 a 30 milhões de metros cúbicos de efluente por ano. O descarte deste efluente, denominado por águas ruças devido à cor escura que apresenta, é um sério problema ambiental. Várias soluções têm sido apresentadas através de propostas para tecnologias de tratamento, no entanto nenhuma delas obteve uma eficác...
