Abstract excerpt
Mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa that produce and do not produce rhamnolipid biosurfactant are used to investigate the influence of cell-associated biosurfactant on cellular association with the hydrocarbon-water interface and on hydrocarbon uptake. Rhamnolipid-nonproducing mutant 65E12 of P. aeruginosa is unable to grow in minimal media containing hexadecane as a carbon source in the absence of exogenously...
