Alkaline lipase of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens E1PA was successfully expressed and purified.
E1PA lipase was moderately thermotolerant and stable over pH 4–10.
E1PA lipase was able to hydrolyze a variety of substrates and heterogeneous lipid-rich food waste.
Both intracellular and extracellular E1PA lipases were effective in lipid hydrolysis.
Recombinant lipase showed potential for development for effective lipase production.
