Abstract
A glycolipid type of biosurfactants was obtained from a strain which had been isolated from soil. The cell was identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa from taxonomic characteristics and was designated as YPJ80. Thin layer chromatography and deoxyhexose detection tests were done to verify the type of biosurfactant. Critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the surfactant was observed to be 50 ppm and the minimum surface tension was 30.1 mN/m. As an emulsifier, YPJ80 biosurfactant was superior to emulsan in the emulsification of crude Arabian light oil.
