A new thermophilic non-induced lipase producer named Serratia rubidaea strain Nehal-mou was isolated from oil waste in Tissemsilat, Algeria. The most influential lipase production parameters were screened by the Plackett–Burman design for enhancing enzyme yield. An optimum condition of a 1.5% of glucose, a 0.01% of potassium, and a 0.025% of manganese contents resulted in a 41.13 U/mL. This yield was 6.29 times higher than the one achieved before the application of the Box-Behnken Design. Lipase activity showed a high organic solvent tolerance following its exposure to hexane, ethanol, methanol, and acetone. Lipase was also perfectly stable in the presence of 10 mM Fe²⁺, K⁺, and Na⁺ ions with more than 75% of the retaining activity. The enzyme half-life times were 22 h, 90 min, and 25 min at 50, 60, and 70 °C respectively. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/boric acid/Starch/CaCO₃ were utilized as a carrier for lipase covalent immobilization in order to be used efficiently. The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) Technique and the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) Method confirmed the covalent bonding success and the excellent carrier characteristics. Thus, the immobilization yield reached 73.5% and the optimum temperature was shifted from 40 to 65 °C. The immobilized lipase kept 80% of its total activity after 10 cycles and had 3 and 3.2-fold half-lives at 70, and 80 °C respectively compared to the free enzyme.
