The operation of wastewater treatment technologies depends on a combination of physical, chemical and biological factors and have to overcome several obstacles to degrade, adsorb and precipitate inorganic nutrients and organic pollutants. Microorganisms present in wastewater play essential roles in the degradation and removal of organic waste and xenobiotic pollutants. Removal of organic pollutants in the form of fats, oils and greases is a demanding procedure in wastewater treatment. Microbial lipases have distinctive industrial attention because of their stability, broad substrate specificity, high yields, regular supply and rapid growth of the enzyme-producing microorganisms. However, under certain conditions, they can catalyze other syn...
