Bioconversion of waste glycerol into viscosinamide by Pseudomonas fluorescens DR54 and its activity evaluation.

ABSTRACT: Lipopeptides, derived from microorganisms, are promising surface-active compounds known as biosurfactants. However, the high production costs of biosurfactants, associated with expensive culture media and purification processes, limit widespread industrial application. To enhance the sustainability of biosurfactant production, researchers have explored cost-effective substrates. In this study, crude glycerol was evaluated as a promising and economical carbon source in viscosinamide production by Pseudomonas fluorescens DR54. Optimization studies using the Box - Behnken design and response surface methodology were performed. Optimal conditions for viscosinamide production including glycerol 70.8 g/L, leucine 2.7 g/L, phosphate 3.7 g/L, and urea 9.3 g/L were identified. Yield of viscosinamid
