Intensification of surfactants’ synthesis on fried oil and glycerol containing medium

Abstract

The possibility of waste use for biosurfactant production was determined. Presence of fumarate and citrate intensified biosurfactant synthesis by 2.5-fold. It was shown that C4-dicarboxylic acids enhanced activity of surfactant biosynthesis enzymes. Cultivation on mixture of substrates resulted in increased surfactants quantity.
