Production and characterization of bioemulsifier by .

The current study evaluated MCC 2546 for its potential to produce a bioemulsifier (BE). Screening methods performed for BE production by MCC 2546 showed good lipase activity, positive drop collapse test, and oil-spreading activity. Furthermore, it showed maximum emulsification activity (225 EU/ml) and emulsification index (E 50%) at 37°C in Luria Bertani broth at 72 h with olive oil as a substrate.
