After screening for the presence of lipase activity in lactobacilli isolated from "chourico", a traditional Portuguese dry fermented sausage, a strain of Lactobacillus plantarum (DSMZ 12028) was chosen for extracellular lipase characterisation and purification. Proteinase K did not significantly affect lipolytic activity, as opposed to trypsin, which completely eliminated this activity. Among NaCl, Ca(2+), EDTA, BSA, glycerol, Mn(2+) and Mg(2+), only Mn(2+) and Mg(2+) stimulated the lipase. Purification by gel filtration chromatography and gel electrophoresis revealed four bands, between 98 and 45 kDa, all with lipolytic activity against olive oil.
