Abstract
Macrophomina phaseolina andPhoma nebulosa secreted lipase which varied with the medium.M. phaseolina produced more lipase thanP. nebulosa. Sesamum seed meal caused stimulation of lipase production. The lipase secreted by both organisms showed maximum activity at pH 5.O. The optimum temperature for activity of lipase secreted byM. phaseolina was found to be 40 °C, while for that ofP. nebulosa it was 30 °C.
