Produção de biossurfactante por Bacillus sp. em meio mínimo contendo glucose

Resumo

Bioremediation uses emulsifying substances, surfactants, to mitigate environmental contaminations. On this study, it was carried out the isolation of 27 microorganisms from soil samples near gas stations and from these, it was selected through hemolytic activity one strain, Bacillus sp. BRUFG 18, as a biosurfactant producer. To the characterization of the production of bioemulsifiers, samples containing minimum media supplied with glucose or diesel fuel, were collected in 7 days and pH, emulsification index, microbial growth and glucose consumption were measured. On ENCICLOPÉDIA BIOSFERA, Centro Científico Conhecer - Goiânia, v.11 n.22; p. 2015 3085 the seventh day, pH varied somewhat, between 7,83 to 8,00, and occurred a better growth of the Bacillus sp. BRUFG 18 in media supplied with diesel fuel. The emulsification index varied between 72 and 75%. Our results show the potentiality to produce biosurfactants commercially with a slight variation of pH and using a plentiful and with a lower cost carbon source, as glucose, from a bacterial isolate.
