Endophytic fungi associated with Mediterranean plants as a source of mycelium-bound lipases

A screening of endophytic fungi isolated from Mediterranean plants rendered a mycelium-bound lipase from a strain of Rhizopus oryzae that catalyzed the esterification of fatty acids in isooctane. The influence of various factors (water content, temperature, and pH) on ester synthesis was investigated. Catalytic activity was inversely correlated with water content. This enzyme was active over the entire pH range studied, from pH 3 to pH 8, and activity was maximal at pH 4 and pH 7. The enzyme was thermostable, with maximal activity at 60 °C.

Process for producing fatty acid alkyl ester composition

An object of the present invention is to solve a problem of separation and recovery of catalysts present in an alkali metal catalytic method currently often used, a problem of excess consumption of a catalyst by a free fatty acid in a raw material, and other problems, and to solve a problem of the presence of a large excess amount of alcohol in a conventional supercritical methanol method, and to provide a method for producing a fatty acid alkyl ester composition in a reaction system containing water and free fatty acid present. The present invention has attained the above-mentioned object by provided a method for producing a fatty acid alkyl ester composition using fats and oils containing a fatty acid glyceride and/or fatty acid, wherein alcohol and/or water is allowed to co-exist with the above-mentioned fats and oils and the reaction is conducted under conditions of a temperature of 100° C. to 370° C. and a pressure of 1 to 100 MPa.
