Biosurfactants are surface-active agents produced by hydrocarbanoclastic bacteria isolated from oil contaminated sites. In the present study a potential oil degrading bacterium was isolated from Cuddalore harbor waters and identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa by using both biochemical and 16S rRNA sequencing. Growth optimization of the strain was done against varying physiochemical parameters viz., Temperature, pH, salinity, incubation period, carbon source and nitrogen source. Mass scale…

Biosurfactant production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from aquaculture farm soil and its optimisation

This is the first reported study for the biosurfactant producing bacteria from aquaculture farm soil which may find its application in various fields.

The influence of agitation on oil substrate dispersion and oxygen transfer in Pseudomonas aeruginosa USM-AR2 fermentation producing rhamnolipid in a stirred tank bioreactor

Water-immiscible substrate, diesel, was supplied as the main substrate in the fermentation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa USM-AR2 producing rhamnolipid biosurfactant, in a stirred tank bioreactor, and showed the highest substrate mixing and homogenization at this agitation speed that led to the efficient substrate utilization by the cells.

Effects of Fe/SDS and Au nanoparticles on P. aeruginosa bacterial growth and biosurfactant production.

Iron (Fe)/SDS and gold (Au) nanoparticles had no bacterial toxicity and also increased bacterial growth and biosurfactant production, while at higher concentrations (500, 1000 mg/l), the nanoparticles suppressed bacterial growth as well as biosurFactant production.

Marine Biosurfactants, III. Toxicity Testing with Marine Microorganisms and Comparison with Synthetic Surfactants

Eight synthetic and nine biogenetic surfactants were tested on their toxicity because of their possible application as oil dispersants against oil slicks on sea, and a ranking shows that most biogenetics surfactant were less toxic than synthetic surfACTants.

Biosurfactants are more effective, selective, environmentally friendly, and stable than many synthetic surfactants, and the most promising applications are cleaning of oil-contaminated tankers, oil spill management, transportation of heavy crude oil, enhanced oil recovery, recovery of crude oil from sludge, and bioremediation of sites contaminated with hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and other pollutants.

Microbial characterization and hydrocarbon biodegradation potential of natural bilge waste microflora

The variety of PAHs in bilge wastes could support bacteria with multiple degradation pathways and a diversity of catabolic genes divergent from the classical nah-like type and the addition of an exogenously produced biosurfactant may be important in enhancing hydrocarbon bioavailability and biodegradation.
