%X in this study, twelve fungal lipase producing strains belonging to aspergillus, penicillium, trichoderma and mucor genera were isolated from palm oil mill effluent composts. the aspergillus spp. were more frequent (42%) and was present in all the samples assayed. mucor sp. was the least encountered (8.3%).the lipase producing profile showed that trichoderma (8.07-8.24 u/ml) and aspergillus (6.25 -7.54 u/ml) spp. were the highest lipase producers while mucor (5.72 u/ml) was the least.
