Abstract excerpt
Biosurfactant production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa EBN-8 mutant was studied in shake flasks on separate wastes from canola, soybean and corn oil refineries. Of the substrates tested, canola oil refinery waste (COD=20 g l(-1)) supplemented with sodium nitrate (at COD/N=20) showed the best microbial growth (4.50 g l(-1)) and rhamnolipid production (8.50 g l(-1)), at 10 d of incubation with the specific growth rate...
