Abstract


Biosurfactants can be used in several industries, such as the petrochemical industry. It is therefore of great interest to improve biosurfactant production processes to make biosurfactants economically competitive compared to synthetic surfactants. To achieve economic competitiveness, it is important to select microorganisms that can produce biosurfactants, to establish an appropriate and economical media and optimized cultivation conditions for the biosurfactant synthesis. In this work, the production of biosurfactant by microorganisms isolated from oil wells was studied in a medium composed of sugar cane molasses and petroleum as carbon sources. The kinetics of microbial growth were evaluated by monitoring the cell concentration, substrate consumption and surface tension variation, which could indicate biosurfactant production. A reduced cultivation time of 8 hours with a significant surface tension reduction (30.77%) was achieved with molasses as a low-cost substrate in the presence of petroleum. The obtained surface tension reduction was similar to that obtained by the previous literature. However, to the best of our knowledge, no report has yet been published with a reduced cultivation time of 8 hours and a significant surface tension reduction using molasses as a low-cost substrate in the presence of petroleum
