The highest yields of enzyme were obtained in solid-state fermentation using rice straw as solid substrate in combination with 40% Mary olive cakes as inducer. The initial screening by using Plackett-Burman's design demonstrated that among the tested factors, lactose and ammonium sulfate of the medium significantly (p < 0.05) enhanced the lipase production. Further optimization of lipase production by isolated fungi in solid-state fermentation by applying response surface methodology was achieved, which revealed these as follows: 0.42 (% w/v) for lactose and 0.09 (% w/v) for ammonium sulfate. Also the enzyme kinetics parameters, biochemical properties, thermodynamic of thermal deactivation and deactivation rate constant of enzyme were determined. %K lipase %K olive cake %K solid-state fermentation %K rice straw %K design of experiment %U http://www.jbb.uni-plovdiv.bg/documents/27807/59543/jbb_2013-2(1)-pages_45-55.pdf
