| Abstract: | The changes in the total extra- and intracellular activities of the lipase and its individual forms during the growth of the fungusRhizopus microsporus (white strain) have been studied. The fungus synthesizes five forms of intracellular lipases, three of which are secreted by intact cells into the surrounding medium. The forms of the lipases differ in the charge of the molecules, their molecular masses, the action of inhibitors, and the kinetic parameters of the triolein-cleaving reaction. A similarity of the physicochemical and enzymatic properties of corresponding pairs of extra- and intracellular lipases has been revealed.Institute of Microbiology, Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Tashkent.
