Abstract

Rhamnolipid is the simplest class of biosurfactants with a well defined structure. The main obstacle in commercialization of biosurfactant especially rhamnolipids is the higher cost of the production. The production cost can be reduced by using economical carbon sources. Glycerol residue is available from glycerin distillation plant at low cost. It can be used as carbon source for rhamnolipid production using Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 10145). The optimum concentration of glycerol residue was 5% weight by volume (w/v) yielding maximum rhamnolipids at 2.50 g/L in the broth. From batch monitoring of polyglycerol and monoglycerol consumption, it appeared that polyglycerols were first hydrolyzed to monoglycerol in the broth itself and consumed as carbon source. The product had components similar to rhamnolipids synthesized on pure glycerol under the same conditions. This indicated the potential of glycerol residue as economic substrate for production of rhamnolipids.

Kurzfassung

Rhamnolipid gehört zu der einfachsten Klasse von Biotensiden mit gut bekannter Struktur. Das größte Problem bei der kommerziellen Herstellung von Biotensiden speziell der Rhamnolipide sind die hohen Produktionskosten. Diese Kosten können durch Einsatz von wirtschaftlichen Kohlenstoffquellen reduziert werden. Glyzerinrückstände stehen kostengünstig aus Glyzerindestillationen von Pflanzen zur Verfügung. Sie können als Kohlenstoffquelle für die Rhamnolipidproduktion unter Verwendung von Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 10145) genutzt werden. Die optimale Konzentration des Glyzerinrückstandes von 5% (w/v) lieferte maximal 2.5 g/L Rhamnolipide in der Lösung. Die Serienuntersuchung des Polyglyzerin- und Monoglyzerinverbrauchs zeigte, dass Polyglyzerin zuerst zu Monoglyzerin in der Lösung hydrolysiert und als Kohlenstoffquelle verbraucht wurde. Das Produkt hatte Komponenten ähnlich denen von Rhamnolipiden, die in reinem Glyzerin unter gleichen Bedingungen synthetisiert wurden. Dieses Ergebnis belegt das Potenzial von Glyzerinrückständen als Substrat für die wirtschaftliche Herstellung von Rhanmolipiden.
