 -  Methods in Molecular Biology, 864, p.547, 2012 .
<br/><br/> Lipases are ubiquitous enzymes, widespread in nature. They were ? rst isolated from bacteria in the early nineteenth century and the associated research continuously increased due to the particular characteristics of these enzymes. This chapter reviews the main sources, structural properties, and industrial applications of these highly studied enzymes.
