Lipase is one of the most important industrial enzymes, widely used in the preparation of food additives, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. In order to obtain a large amount of lipase, in the present study, a gene encoding intracellular lipase was cloned from Acinetobacter haemolyticus. The recombinant lipase KV1 containing a His-tag was expressed in Esherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells, using pET-30a as the expression vector. Using the central composite design, screening and optimization of induction conditions (cell density before induction, IPTG (isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside) concentration, post-induction temperature and post-induction time) were made. All parameters significantly (P 80%) even up to 24 h between pH 7−12; suggesting that the recombinant lipase KV1 may be suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
