Extracelluar lipase activity was detected in a culture of Pseudomonas strain Ptm + growing on hexachlorocyclohexane. Lipase activity was associated with growth of the bacterium and reached a peak at early idiophase (22 h). Following the lipase activity, bioemulsifier was produced, with maximum activity at mid‐idiophase (32 h). The extracellular lipase is probably involved in the extracellular synthesis of the bioemulsifier in the culture broth.
