چکیده

biosurfactants are surface-active compounds produced by microorganisms. in this study, we collected 60 inguinal area and ear canal samples from cows, sheep, and goats (each, 10 animals) and screened for biosurfactant-producing bacteria. we also determined the genera of culturing strains. fifty six hemolytic bacterial strains (27, 22 and 7, from cows, sheep and goats, respectively) were isolated. oil spreading test and bioemulsifying activities were measured for all isolates. the cows’ samples had higher population of positive strains than other animals, so that 5 isolates from inguinal area and 4 from ear canal samples (16.1%) were positive for all tests. for sheep, the numbers were 6 and one (12.5%) while for goats one and two (5.3%), respectively. totally, 19 isolates (33.9%) were positive for all examinations out of them 12 were gram positives. the microorganisms isolated in this study could well be sources of novel biosurfactants. further investigation into the composition of the biosurfactants and phylogenetic determination of biosurfactant producing bacteria is suggested.

Individually and Synergistic Degradation of Hydrocarbons by Biosurfactant Producing Bacteria

Background: Increasing worldwide contamination with hydrocarbons has urged environmental remediation using biological agents such as bacteria. Our goal here was to study the phylogenetic relationship of two crude oil degrader bacteria and investigation of their ability to degrade hydrocarbons. Materials and Methods: Phylogenetic relationship of isolates was determined using morphological and...

Isolation of Biosurfactant Producing Bacteria from Oil Reservoirs

Biosurfactants or surface-active compounds are produced by microoaganisms. These molecules reduce surface tension both aqueous solutions and hydrocarbon mixtures. In this study, isolation and identification of biosurfactant producing bacteria were assessed. The potential application of these bacteria in petroleum industry was investigated. Samples (crude oil) were collected from oil wells and 4...
