Selective Partition of Lipopeptides from Fermentation Broth: A Green and Sustainable Approach.

ABSTRACT: Lipopeptide (LP) biosurfactants from microbes have the potential to gradually replace chemical synthetic surfactants and fit the contemporary green and sustainable industrial production concept. However, their active participation is comparatively low in the global market pertaining to their low yield in microbial broth and costly downstream processes arising due to tedious isolation and purification methods. Herein, an efficient extraction method is developed that utilizes an aqueous biphasic system (ABS) comprising ionic liquids and polypropylene glycol 400 (PPG) to selectively extract a mixture of cyclic lipopeptides, namely, surfactin and fengycin from the culture broth of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens 5NPA-1, isolated from the halophyte Salicornia brachiata Roxb.
