Abstract |
|
Biosurfactants are amphiphilic compounds produced on living surfaces, mostly on microbial cell surfaces, or excreted extracellularly and contain hydrophobic and hydrophilic moieties that confer the ability to accumulate between fluid phases, thus reducing surface and interfacial tension at the surface and interface respectively. They are a structurally diverse group of surface-active molecules synthesized by microorganisms. Biosurfactant was produced using Pseudomonas aeruginosa 10636 and 4673, with two different carbon sources i.e. glucose and glycerol at different concentration.optimisation of media, bacterial concentration and various physical parameters was carried out when ever required. It was found that both can utilize glucose and glycerol but P. aeruginosa 4673 can give better results with 5% glucose if compared. |
