Lipid Hydrolysis Test- Objectives, Principle, Procedure, Results
Objectives of Lipid Hydrolysis Test To determine the ability of the organism to hydrolyse lipid. To identify bacteria capable of producing the exoenzyme lipase. Principle of Lipid Hydrolysis Test Lipids generally are nonpolar molecules that do not dissolve well in water. Fats are one type of lipids that are large polymers of fatty acids and glycerol that are too large to enter the cell membrane. In order to utilize fats, bacterial cells secrete exoenzymes known as lipases outside of the cell that hydrolyze the lipid …Read more
