From samples of effluent derived from a biological treatment plant of a mayonnaise and margarine producing factory, several bacteria strains presenting high lipolytic activities were isolated. The strain having the highest activity was used for treating a typical final effluent and the results obtained were compared with those achieved with Yarrowia lipolytica and Saccharomycopsis lipolytica strains. The isolated strain showed the highest specific capacity for reducing chemical oxygen demand (COD).
