Extracellular production of a glycolipid biosurfactant, mannosylerythritol lipid, from Candida antarctica

Candida antarctica (sp. SY16) required avegetable oil as the carbon source to produce a biosurfactant, mannosylerythritol lipid (MEL-SY16). Biosurfactant production was 31 g l^sup -1^ after 7 days in a batch culture and was not growth associated. In a two-stage culture, glycerol and oleic acid were...

Summary:Candida antarctica (sp. SY16) required avegetable oil as the carbon source to produce a biosurfactant, mannosylerythritol lipid (MEL-SY16). Biosurfactant production was 31 g l^sup -1^ after 7 days in a batch culture and was not growth associated. In a two-stage culture, glycerol and oleic acid were used as an initial and a feeding carbon source, respectively, and 41 g l^sup -1^ biosurfactant was produced after 8 days.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
