- Abstract
- A biosurfactant-producing bacterial strain was selected from diesel-contaminated soil by measuring the oil-film collapsing activity and identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa D2D2. When glucose and olive oil were used as carbon sources, 11.46 g/l of biosurfactant was obtained. Based on TLC analysis, the biosurfactant produced from P. aeruginosa D2D2 was identified as a glycolipid, consisting of two types of biosurfactants (Type I and Type II). The purified glycolipid reduced the surface tension of the culture from 72 dyne/cm to 27 dyne/cm. The hydrophilic and hydrophobic moiety of the biosurfactant were rhamnose and β-hydroxydecanoic acid, as determined by FAB-MS and NMR analyses, respectively.
