Summary:The objective this study has been the selection of lipase productor microorganism, for removal of oils and grease, in the pre-treatment of biodiesel wastewater washing. For this, analyses of the physicist-chemistries characteristics had been made with the wastewater of the biodiesel washing, and then it had been isolated and chosen, by means of determinations of the lipase activity. Following, it was made a test of fat biodegradation, in the conditions: pH (5.95), temperature (35 ºC), rotation (180 rpm) and ammonium sulfate as nitrogen source (3 g L-1) and establishing as variable the two microorganism preselected and the time (24; 48; 72; 96 and 120 h). The biodiesel purification wastewater had presented high potential of environmental impact, presenting a concentration of O of 6.76 g L-1. From the six isolated microbiological cultures, two microorganisms (A and B) had been selected, with enzymatic index of 0.56 and 0.57, respectively. The treatment of the wastewater using the isolated microorganism (Klebsiella oxytoca) had 80% of the fatty removal in 48 h. Este trabalho teve por objetivo selecionar cepas de microrganismos com alto potencial de produção de lipase, a fim de remover óleos e graxas, no pré-tratamento da água residuária de purificação do biodiesel. Para tanto, foram feitas análises das características físico-químicas do efluente, e a partir desse resíduo foram isolados e selecionados microrganismos com potencial de produção de lipase. Em seguida, foi feito um ensaio de biodegradação de gordura, nas condições: pH (5,95), temperatura (35 ºC), rotação (180 rpm) e sulfato de amônio como fonte de nitrogênio (3 g L-1), e tendo como variáveis os microrganismos pré-selecionados e o tempo (24; 48; 72; 96 e 120 h). A água residuária de purificação do biodiesel apresentou uma concentração de O de 6,76 g L-1. Das seis culturas microbianas isoladas do tanque de decantação deste efluente, dois microrganismos (A e B) foram selecionados, com índice enzimático de 0,56 e 0,57, respectivamente. O tratamento da água residuária, utilizando o microrganismo isolado Klebsilla oxytoca, obteve uma remoção de O de 80% em 48 h.
