“…Thus, in the bioremediation field, biosurfactants come up as a major candidate for the replacement of synthetic surfactants due to their lower toxicity, high biodegrability and the possibility of in situ production. 1 The effects of biosurfactants on the biodegradation of petroleum compounds were investigated by Hua et al 59 They reported that the addition of a biosurfactant produced by Candida antarctica T-34 could improve the biodegradation rate of some n-alkanes (90.2% for n-decane, 90.2% for n-undecane, 89.0% for dodecane), a mixture of n-alkanes (82.3%) and kerosene (72.5%) and showed that this biosurfactant could substitute with advantage synthetic surfactants.…”

Biosurfactants are surface-active compounds from biological sources, usually extracellular, produced by bacteria, yeast or fungi. Research on biological surfactant production has grown significantly due to the advantages they present over synthetic compounds such as biodegradability, low toxicity, diversity of applications and functionality under extreme conditions. Although the majority of microbial surfactants have been reported in bacteria, the pathogenic nature of some producers restricts the wide application of these compounds.A growing number of aspects related to the production of biosurfactants from yeasts have been the topic of research during the last decade.

“…16,17) Biosurfactant production in various carbon sources Five different carbon sources were used: glucose, starch, soybean oil, palm oil, and coconut oil. These sources were chosen according to previously reported results 7,15,18) and commercial availability in Southeast Asia. In this study, biosurfactant production was determined by biosurfactant activities, both in terms of surface-tension reduction and by oil displacement test.…”

“…Rhamnolipid biosurfactants were also demonstrated by Owsianiak et al (2009) as enhancers of diesel, biodiesel, and gasoline degradation. Candida antarctica T-34-derived biosurfactants were shown to improve the biodegradation rate of some n-alkanes, a mixture of n-alkanes and kerosene (Hua et al 2004). At the same way, it was demonstrated by Saeki et al (2009) that Gordonia sp.…”

Bioremediation, involving the use of microorganisms to detoxify or remove pollutants, is the most interesting strategy for hydrocarbon remediation. In this aim, four hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria were isolated from oil-contaminated soil in Tunisia. They were identified by the 16S rDNA sequence analysis, as Lysinibacillus bronitolerans RI18 (KF964487), Bacillus thuringiensis RI16 (KM111604), Bacillus weihenstephanensis RI12 (KM094930), and Acinetobacter radioresistens RI7 (KJ829530). Moreover, a lipopeptide biosurfactant produced by Bacillus subtilis SPB1, confirmed to increase diesel solubility, was tested to increase diesel biodegradation along with co-inoculation with two biosurfactant-producing strains. Culture studies revealed the enhancement of diesel biodegradation by the selected consortium with the addition of SPB1 lipopeptide and in the cases of co-inoculation by biosurfactant-producing strain. In fact, an improvement of about 38.42 and 49.65 % of diesel degradation was registered in the presence of 0.1 % lipopeptide biosurfactant and when culturing B. subtilis SPB1 strain with the isolated consortium, respectively. Furthermore, the best improvement, evaluated to about 55.4 %, was recorded when using the consortium cultured with B. subtilis SPB1 and A. radioresistens RI7 strains. Gas chromatography analyses were correlated with the gravimetric evaluation of the residual hydrocarbons. Results suggested the potential applicability of the selected consortium along with the ex situ- and in situ-added biosurfactant for the effective bioremediation of diesel-contaminated water and soil.
