Improvement of biosurfactant production by Wickerhamomyces anomalus CCMA 0358 and its potential application in bioremediation.

In this work, biosurfactant production by Wickerhamomyces anomalus CCMA 0358 was increased through the development of an optimized culture medium using response surface methodology. The optimized culture medium contained yeast extract (4.64 g/L), ammonium sulfate (4.

New glycolipid biosurfactants produced by the yeast strain Wickerhamomyces anomalus CCMA 0358.

In this work, biosurfactant production by several yeast strains was evaluated using different culture media. The best results were obtained with the strain Wickerhamomyces anomalus CCMA 0358 growing in a culture medium containing glucose (1g/L) and olive oil (20g/L) as carbon sources. This strain produced 2.
