Oleic acid esters were shown to be the best carbon source for both cell growth and lipase production by Candida rugosa. Use of a cosolvent, dodecane, in fermentations improved the solubility of solid substrates and increased oxygen solubility. This resulted in the highest lipase activity in batch fermentation with glycerol trioleate and dodecane. Lipase activity reached 77.1 units ml(-1).
