Glycolipopeptide biosurfactant from SG: physicochemical characterization, optimization, antibiofilm and antimicrobial activity evaluation.

The SG isolated from soil samples at the Persian Gulf was analyzed for its ability to produce biosurfactant. Various screening techniques were used for evaluating biosurfactant production and confirming biosurfactant presence in the culture supernatant. Most n-alkanes in the bacterial culture media were effectively degraded in the presence of biosurfactant acquired from the bacteria.
