Rhizomucor miehei secretes a lipase that is reported to give satisfactory results in Italian cheese manufacture. This enzyme has been characterized and is commercially available as Piccantase . Lipases secreted by selected strains of Penicillium roqueforti and P. candidum are considered to be potentially useful for the manufacture of Italian and other cheese varieties.

Lipolysis in mould-ripened varieties is due primarily to the lipases of Penicillium roqueforti or P. camemberti, which secrete potent extracellular lipases. Penicillium lipases are well characterized (see Kinsella and Hwang, 1976 Gripon, 1987,1993). P. camemberti appears to excrete only one lipase which is optimally active at ca. pH 9.0 and at ca. 35°C. P. roqueforti excretes two lipases, one with a pH optimum at 7.5 to 8.0 (or perhaps 9.0 to 9.5), the other at pH 6.0 to 6.5 The acid and alkaline lipases exhibit different specificities. Lipases of Geotrichum candidum have been studied by Side-bottom et al. (1991) and Charlton et al. (1992). This organism produces two lipases of different substrate specificities.

A number of synthetic iron (II) complex of vitamin C analogues (L-threo-hexo-2-enaro-1,4-lactone) showed antibacterial and antifungal actions against Aspergillus niger, Geotrichum candidum, Aureobasidium pullulams, Penicillium steckii and Trichoderma sp. [54].
