Isolation and screening of biosurfactant producing microorganisms from oil contaminated soil
نویسنده
چکیده
Isolation and screening of microorganisms from oil contaminated soil samples with biosurfactant producing ability was investigated. The biosurfactant producing ability of the microorganisms isolated from the soil samples was investigated by hemolytic assay, drop collapse test, emulsification index and methylene blue agar plate method. The best isolate was identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa based on microscopic and biochemical analysis. The extracted biosurfactants was characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra.

Isolation, Optimization, and Molecular Characterization of a Lipase Producing Bacterium from Oil Contaminated Soils
Lipases have many applications in biotechnology, thanks to their ability of acylglycerides hydrolysis. They alsp possess the unique feature of acting at the lipid-water interface, which distinguishes them from esterases. Commercially useful lipases are produced by microorganisms with the extracellular lipase being produced by many bacteria including Pseudomonas. The greatest production of lipas...

Biosurfactant are surface active compounds produced by microorganisms. These molecules reduce surface tension between aqueous solutions and hydrocarbon mixtures. Hundred hydrocarbon saturated soil samples were collected from thirty different areas in Chennai, TamilNadu, India. Seventy two bacterial strains were isolated and cultured by enriching carbon (Glycerol) source. Each culture medium was...
متن کاملScreening and identification of biosurfactant producing marine bacteria from the Caspian Sea
Marine microorganisms have unique physiological properties and novel metabolites such as biosurfactant to live in extreme habitats (e.g. oil polluted environment). The aim of this study was to characterize some biosurfactant-producing bacteria collected from sediment and seawater samples from the Caspian Sea. These bacteria were isolated using enrichment method in ONR7a medium with crude oil as...
