A combinatorial screening strategy was adopted for the development of a suitable medium for enhanced biosurfactant production by a marine strain. As a result, a modified marine medium (MMM) was developed, which contained urea and strontium chloride besides other salts important for the growth of marine bacteria. This medium supported growth, evident from a higher maximum growth rate value of 0.42 h(-1) and an enhanced biosurfactant production of 2.58 g/L. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) was determined for the biosurfactants obtained from all tested media combinations. The biosurfactant produced with this medium was stable at high temperature (100 °C), a wide range of pH (5-11) and salt concentration of 5-35%. The emulsifying activity and stability of the biosurfactant obtained using MMM was better than the biosurfactant obtained using conventional media. This biosurfactant with improved physiochemical properties is suitable for a wide range of applications in industry and for marine environmental cleaning.

Introduction: Burkholderia thailandensis E264 is a non-pathogenic soil bacterium that produces rhamnolipids (RLs), which are utilised in various fields. Although studies have illustrated changes in RLs congeners in response to environmental factors, studies on the influence of temperature on the RLs congeners produced by B. thailandensis E264 are scarce.

In this study, five strains previously isolated from black liquor (BL) and vinasse (V) were tested to assess the most promising regarding its capacity of biosurfactant production. For that, four factorial designs of two factors at two levels (2) were run for each strain. Selected factors were the production time and the composition media, while the surface tension reduction and optical density were the responses variables.
