Production and structural characterization of eco-friendly bioemulsifier SC04 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain MYN04 with potential applications.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bioemulsifiers are natural or microbial-based products with the ability to emulsify hydrophobic compounds in water. These compounds are biodegradable, eco-friendly, and find applications in various industries.

Results

Thirteen yeasts were isolated from different sources in Alexandria, Egypt, and evaluated for their potential to produce intracellular bioemulsifiers. One yeast, isolated from a local market in Egypt, showed the highest emulsification index (EI₂₄) value. Through 26S rRNA sequencing, this yeast was identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain MYN04. The growth kinetics of the isolate were studied, and after 36 h of incubation, the highest yield of cell dry weight (CDW) was obtained at 3.17 g/L, with an EI₂₄ of 55.6%. Experimental
