Oxygen effects on rhamnolipids production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Rhamnolipids are the most extensively studied biosurfactants and has been successfully used in various areas from bioremediation to industrial fields. Rhamnolipids structural composition decide their physicochemical properties. Different physicochemical properties influence their application potential. Rhamnolipids can be produced at both aerobic conditions and anaerobic conditions by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This study aims to evaluate the oxygen effects on the rhamnolipids yield, structural composition, physicochemical properties and the rhl-genes expression in P. aeruginosa SG. Results will guide researchers to regulate microbial cells to synthesize rhamnolipids with different activity according to diverse application requirements. RESULTS:Quantitative real-time PCR analysis r
