Investigation of Physicho-chemical Properties and Characterization of Produced Biosurfactant by Selected Indigenous Oil-degrading Bacterium.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Due to the amphipathic properties of biosurfactants which act on surfaces and interfaces interest by a variety of industries such as cosmetic, pharmaceutical, bioremediation and petroleum-related industries has recently increased.

Methods

Detection of a high-efficiency biosurfactant producer using preliminary screening methods from soil contaminated with crude oil was carried at the Microbiology Laboratory at Shahid Beheshti University, Tehran, Iran in 2013. Then after characterization of some physico-chemical properties of produced biosurfactant and production optimization conditions, processes of purification and complete identification were done.

Results

Pseudomonas aeruginosa sp. ZN was selected as high-efficiency biosurfactant producing strain f
