Production and properties of a biosurfactant synthesized byArthrobacter protophormiae — an antarctic strain

This study reports the production of biosurfactant by a psychrophilic strain ofArthrobacter protophormiae during growth on an immiscible carbon source, w-hexadecane. The biosurfactant reduces the surface tension of the medium from 68.0 mN/m to 30.60 mN/m and exhibits good emulsification activity. The strain could grow and produce biosurfactant in the presence of high NaCl concentrations (10.0 to 100.0 g/1). Although the biosurfactant was isolated by growing the organism under psychrophilic conditions (10‡C) it exhibited stable activity over a wide range of temperature (30‡C to 100‡C). It retained its surface-active properties at p^H2 to 12. The biosurfactant was effective in recovering up to 90% of residual oil from an oil saturated sandpack column, indicating its potential value in enhanced oil recovery.     

Characterization of new biosurfactant produced by Klebsiella sp. Y6-1 isolated from waste soybean oil

To obtain predominant bacteria degrading crude oil, we isolated some bacteria from waste soybean oil. Isolated bacterial strain had a marked tributyrin (C4:0) degrading activity as developed clear zone around the colony after incubation for 24h at 37 degrees C. It was identified as Klebsiella sp. Y6-1 by analysis of 16S rRNA gene. Crude biosurfactant was extracted from the culture supernatant of Klebsiella sp. Y6-1 by organic solvent (methanol:chloroform:1-butanol) after vacuum freeze drying and the extracted biosurfactant was purified by silica gel column chromatography. When the purified biosurfactant dropped, it formed degrading zone on crude oil plate. When a constituent element of the purified biosurfactant was analyzed by TLC and SDS-PAGE, it was composed of peptides and lipid. The emulsification activity and stability of biosurfactant was measured by using hydrocarbons and crude oil. The emulsification activity and stability of the biosurfactant showed better than the chemically synthesized surfactant. It reduced the surface tension of water from 72 to 32 mN/m at a concentration of 40 mg/l.

Biosurfactant-producing bacteria were isolated from various sources in the south of Thailand. Isolates were screened for biosurfactant production using jackfruit seed powder (JSP) as a novel and promising substrate. The highest biosurfactant activity was obtained with a bacterial strain which was identified by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis as Deinococcus caeni PO5. D. caeni PO5 was able to grow and reduce the surface tension of the culture supernatant from 67.0 to 25.0 mN/m after 87 h of cultivation when 40 g/l of JSP and 1 g/l of commercial monosodium glutamate were used as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively. The biosurfactant obtained by ethyl acetate extraction showed high surface tension reduction (47.0 mN/m), a small critical micelle concentration value (8 mg/l), thermal and pH stability with respect to surface tension reduction and emulsification activity, and a high level of salt tolerance. Chemical characterization by biochemical testing, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and mass spectra revealed that the obtained biosurfactant was a glycolipid-type biosurfactant. The obtained biosurfactant was capable of forming stable emulsions with various hydrocarbons and had the ability to enhance oil recovery, the solubility of polyaromatic hydrocarbons, heavy metal removal, and antimicrobial activity.     

Physicochemical and structural characterization of biosurfactant produced by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pleurotus djamor</Emphasis> in solid-state fermentation

Biosurfactants are amphiphilic compounds produced by several microorganisms that reduce the surface tension. Low toxicity, optimal activity in extreme conditions, biodegradability and production from several wastes are main advantages of biosurfactants as compared to synthetic surfactants. Production of biosurfactant by a white rot fungus Pleurotus djamor on sunflower seed shell in solid-state fermentation was determined by emulsification indexes, oil spreading activity and surface tension (28.82 ± 0.3mN/m) measurement. The critical micelle concentration was detected as 0.964 ± 0.09 mg/mL. Also, the chemical and physicochemical properties of the biosurfactant produced were investigated. Considering the results of the chemical contents analysis, HPLC, FT-IR and ¹H-NMR, it can be concluded that the produced biosurfactant has a complex structure. Besides, resistance of its activity to environmental factors such as temperature, pH and salt concentration, as well as its thermal stability, were investigated. Additionally, the produced biosurfactant formed stabile emulsions with different hydrocarbons. Lastly, the performance of removing waste frying oil from contaminated sand of produced biosurfactant was detected as 76.57 ± 6%. Owing to its high emulsification capacity, low surface tension and critical micelle concentration, the biosurfactant, shows great potential for use in hydrocarbon removal applications.

I. limosus KB3 was able to grow and to produce surfactant reducing the surface tension of medium to 28.2 mN/m and giving a crude surfactant concentration of 5.13 g/l after 54 h. The biosurfactant obtained was found to reduce the surface tension of pure water to 25.5 mN/m with the critical micelle concentration of 9 mg/l, and retained its properties during exposure to elevated temperatures (121 °C), high salinity (12 % NaCl), and a wide range of pH values. Chemical characterization by FT-IR, NMR, and ESI-MS revealed that the biosurfactant has a lipopeptide composition with molecular mass (m/z) of 1,032.

The thermophilic bacterium Alcaligenes faecalis isolated from the crude oil contaminated soil of Upper Assam, India. The isolated bacterium was first screened for the ability to produce biosurfactant. The strain growing at 42 °C could produce higher amount of biosurfactant in medium supplemented with 2% (v/v) diesel as sole source of carbon and energy. Biochemical characterizations including FT-IR and MS studies suggested the biosurfactant to be glycolipid. Tensiometric studies revealed that the biosurfactant produced by the bacterial strain could decrease the surface tension (??) at air-water interface from 71.6 to 32.3 mNm⁻¹ after 96 h of growth on hydrocarbon and possessed a low critical micelle concentration (CMC) value of approximately 38 mgl⁻¹, indicating high surface activity. The culture supernatant containing the biosurfactant was found to be functionally stable at varying pH (2-12), temperature (100 and 121 °C) and salinity (1-6% NaCl, w/v) conditions. Both the culture broth and the cell free supernatant exhibited high emulsifying activity against the different hydrocarbons and the crude oil components. The increase in cell surface hydrophobicity and glycolipid production by the strain suggested the existence of biosurfactant enhanced interfacial uptake of the hydrocarbons. Moreover, the partially purified biosurfactant exhibited antimicrobial activity by inhibiting the growth of several bacterial and fungal species. The strain represented a new class of biosurfactant producers and could be a potential candidate for the production of glycolipid biosurfactant which could be useful in a variety of biotechnological and industrial processes, particularly in the oil industry.
