Physicochemical and surface-active properties of biosurfactant produced using molasses by a Pseudomonas aeruginosa mutant.

Abstract excerpt

Production of a microbial surfactant was studied by growing Pseudomonas aeruginosa EBN-8 mutant on varying concentrations (on the basis of total sugars) of clarified blackstrap molasses as a sole carbon and energy source with or without auxiliary synthetic nitrogen source in 250 mL shake flasks. The progress of fermentation process was monitored by measuring the production of metabolites, and surface-active and...
