Description: About 34 wild fungal species associated with edible oil mill wastes were isolated by the serial dilution technique. Methods for rapid screening of fungal species against production of extracellular enzymes such as amylase, protease, cellulase, and lipase are reported. Among all the species, Aspergillus versicolor exhibited high amlylolytic and gelatinolytic activity, whereas Penicillium citrinum showed only high amylolytic activity. Maximum cellulolytic activity was recorded for Absidia corymbifera, As. niger. Cunninghamella echinulata, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium solani, Mucor racemosus, Paecilomyces variotii, and Syncephalastrum racemosum. The fungal species Ab. corymbifera, As. fumigatus, ,As. japonicus, As. nidulans, As. terreus, Cun. vertiallaxa, Cur. pallescens, F. oxysporum, Geotrichum candidum, M. racemosus, Pe. citrinum, Pe. frequentans, Rhizopus stolonifer, and Trichoderma viride exhibited maximum lipase activity. This study confirms the isolated fungi present on a wide range of substrates in the ambient environment, and these results could provide basic data for further investigations on fungal extracellular enzymes.
