The goal of this study was to identify the biosurfactant-producing bacteria isolated from agro-food industrial effluet. The identification of the potential bacterial strain using a polymerase chain reaction of the 16S rRNA gene analysis was closely related to Serratia marcescens with its recorded strain of SA30 "Fundamentals of mass transfer and kinetics for biosorption of oil and grease from agro-food industrial effluent by Serratia marcescens SA30" (Fulazzaky et al., 2015) [1]; however, many biochemical tests have not been published yet. The biochemical tests of biosurfactant production, haemolytic assay and cell surface hydrophobicity were performed to investigate the beneficial strain of biosurfactant-producing bacteria. Here we do share data collected from the biochemical tests to get a better understanding of the use of Serratia marcescens SA30 to degrade oil, which contributes the technical features of strengthening the biological treatment of oil-contaminated wastewater in tropical environments.

Article Synopsis
  • Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is explored using a co-culture system to improve oil extraction efficiency through bacterial interactions and biosurfactant production.
  • The optimal inoculation ratio of 1:1 led to significant increases in bacterial growth and biosurfactant production, boosting these metrics by over 200%.
  • Field applications demonstrated that the co-culture system improved crude oil recovery to 94.48% and resulted in a substantial increase in oil production, with certain bacteria becoming dominant in the reservoir, enhancing hydrocarbon degradation.

In situ biosurfactant production by hydrocarbon degrader microorganisms is an attractive approach in the bioremediation of oil contamination because of their compatibility, biodegradability, environmental safety, and stability under extreme environmental conditions. Given the high efficiency of bacteria in degrading petroleum hydrocarbons, the present work studied the detection and characterization of a biosurfactant-producing hydrocarbon degrader, Roseomonas aestuarii NB833. This strain was able to synthesize a biosurfactant during the biodegradation of crude oil, which reduced the surface tension of the aqueous system from 70 to 34 mN m, with a critical micelle concentration of 200 mg L.

Biosurfactants are a diverse group of compounds derived from microorganisms, possessing various structures and applications. The current study was seeking to isolate and identify a new biosurfactant-producing fungus from soil contaminated with petrochemical waste. The bioprocess conditions were optimized to maximize biosurfactant production for Aspergillus carneus OQ152507 using a glucose peptone culture medium with a pH of 7.

Petroleum and other oil manufacturing industries contribute to environmental pollution by releasing hazardous hydrocarbons. Biosurfactants offer a sustainable solution for mitigating oil pollution through emulsification processes, safeguarding agricultural soils, aquatic ecosystems, and human health. This study focuses on isolating, screening, and identifying actinomycetes producing biosurfactant from oil-polluted soil in the naval dockyard of Visakhapatnam.

This work highlights the biosurfactant production potential of yeasts from mangroves in northeastern Brazil. The biosurfactants were evaluated by their emulsifying capacity (EI24), with 6 isolates showing values between 50% and 62%. Surfactant properties from crude extract were measured using drop collapse, oil displacement, Parafilm® M, surface tension and critical micellar concentration tests.
