abstract = {A collection of lipase-producing microorganisms was isolated from sludge derived from
an urban wastewater treatment plant. The microorganisms with the highest levels of
lipase activity were selected in order to use triglycerides present in the sludge effectively
and were then transformed with pdc:adhB genes for the production of ethanol. The
transgenic strains showed high growth rates in diluted sludge and produced lipase
protein in order to utilize fat present in the sludge, which provides an abundant source of
carbon. Using sludge derived from treated wastewater as nutrient source, ethanol was
produced by certain transgenic species belonging to the genera Proteus. Different forms
of sludge were tested for maximal ethanol production, with dehydrated sludge being
found to produce the best performance.},
