“…Ester synthesis through alcoholysis in an aqueous environment has been reported for lipases from Aeromonas hydrophila, Candida parapsilosis and Rhizomucor miehei (Robertson, Hilton, & Buckley, 1992;Briand, Dubreucq, & Galzy, 1994Liu, Holland, & Crow, 2003b), but not esterases. By comparison, some microbial lipases, such as those from Mucor miehei, Rhizopus delemar and Candida deformans, catalyse ester synthesis in an aqueous environment by esterifying fatty acids with alcohols, not by alcoholysis (Boutur, Dubreucq, & Galzy, 1995;Lecointe, Dubreucq, & Galzy, 1996).…”
