The effect of various storage procedures on the viability and synthesis of lipolytic enzymes by Rhizopus microsporus UzLT-1 was studied. The best procedures of producer storage proved to be regular passages and lyophilization. These procedures made it possible to maintain stable activity of lipolytic enzymes produced by the fungus for a long time. The fungal storage in vaseline oil or in a dried state was less effective due to significant losses of its lipolytic capacity.
