The present work aims to study the production of a new extracellular lipase from the endophytic fungus Preussia africana isolated from red lapacho tree (Handroanthus impetiginosus). Tests were carried out in order to evaluate the influence of different inducing oils (sunflower, cotton, corn, palm kernel, canola and linseed) and carbon/nitrogen ratio (C/N of 11.73, 8.63 and 7.05) on submerged fermentation aiming at optimal production of a single extracellular lipase. Results show that an optimal lipase production of 14.5 kDa has been attained after 48 h of fermentation when sunflower oil was used in the C/N ratio of 8.63 in the fermentation medium. The produced lipase showed greater activity for oils that had higher percentage of unsaturated fatty acids in their composition. Characterization was performed using a two-factor central composite rotatable design (CCRD), and the pH 6 was found to be optimal (around 28 U/mL). The temperature range studied (from 20 to 54 °C) showed no difference for the lipase catalytic activity. This is an advantage, especially when aiming at its application in reactions of industrial interest.
