This study aims to isolate different bacteria characterize and screen them for the production of lipase. Total eight different bacterial isolates showing good extracellular lipase activity were isolated on tributyrin agar plates from oil contaminated sites. Out of which BN-2 showed moderate lipase activityin the production medium (basal medium) using olive oil as substrate. Lipase activity was quantified spectrophotometrically at 410 nm. Effect of different pH, temperature and various carbon sources was optimized and lipase activity was assayed.
