Partial glyceride hydrolase(EC 3.1.1.23), a type of lipolytic enzyme that hydrolyzes monoacylglycerols more easily than triacylglycerols, is distinct fromtriacylglycerol lipase (EC 3.1.1.3), which preferentially hydrolyzestriacylglycerols . Relatively few partial glyceride hydrolasesderived from microorganisms have been reported such as monoa-cylglycerol lipase, mono- and diacylglycerol lipase (MDL), andpartial glyceride hydrolase from different fungal strains
