Phospholipase A1 (PLA1) is an enzyme that hydrolyzes phospholipids and produces 2-acyl-lysophospholipids and fatty acids. This lipolytic activity is conserved in a wide range of organisms but is carried out by a diverse set of PLA1 enzymes. Where their function is known, PLA1s have been shown to act as digestive enzymes, possess central roles in ...

Enzymatic Degumming of Rice Bran Oil Using Different Commercial Phospholipases and Their Cocktails
Rice bran oil is a highly nutritious vegetable oil, as it is rich in tocols and γ-oryzanol. Degumming is the first step in the vegetable oil refining process, and its main objective is the removal of phospholipids or gums. In the present study, enzymatic

Biofilm, proteinase and phospholipase production by Candida albicans isolates from a hospital in Thailand [PDF]
This study aimed to determine biofilm formation, and production of phospholipase and proteinase in 73 clinical isolates of Candida albicans. Biofilms formed in a 96-well plate were quantified by crystal violet staining.

For its replication within red blood cells, the malaria parasite depends on a highly active and regulated lipid metabolism. Enzymes involved in lipid metabolic processes such as phospholipases are, therefore, potential drug targets.

Hydrolysis of phospholipids by a lysosomal enzyme
The phospholipid-hydrolyzing activity of rat liver lysosomes has been studied. These lysosomes contain a phospholipase that cleaves both fatty acid ester linkages of lecithin and of phosphatidyl ethanolamine and releases free fatty acids from both ...

A putative lipase affects Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm matrix production
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that is widely known for infecting patients with underlying conditions. This species often survives antibiotic therapy by forming biofilms, in which the cells produce a protective extracellular matrix ...
