A Burkholderia cepacia (bacteria) strain, A.T.C.C. 25609, which had been isolated from the bronchial washings of a cystic fibrosis patient, was used to produce lipase. The presence of sodium alginate at an optimal concentration of 8 mg·ml −1 in the growth medium nearly doubled the production of extracellular lipase activity. The enzyme could be purified with 38‐fold purification and 96% activity recovery using a two‐step purification protocol. The molecular mass of the purified lipase determined by SDS/PAGE was shown to be 28 kDa. The pH optimum of the purified enzyme was 9 and it was stable up to 12 h at pH 9 and 10. The enzyme has a temperature optimum of 40 °C and its half‐life ( t 1/2 ) values were 54 and 46 min at 50 and 60 °C respectively. The lipase was found to be stable in the presence of the detergents Tween 20 and Triton X‐100. The secondary‐structure analysis of lipase by CD spectroscopy showed 52% α‐helix, 7.7% β‐sheet, 12.6% β‐turn and 27.8% random structure. The lipase was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli . The gene sequence of the cloned lipase was determined and compared with other lipases.
