| Abstract: | Present study consists 18 morphologically different marine bacterial
species isolated from coastal Tamil Nadu, examined for production of
bioemulsifiers. All the 18 isolate produces bioemulsifiers and exhibit
emulsification index (E24) of
85-95% with hydrocarbons containing fatty acids and <75% with other
hydrocarbons. Resultant emulsion found stable till day 100 without any phase
separation. Polymeric protein nature of the bioemulsifiers produced by the
marine bacterial species could be the reason for the stability. Hypothesis
involved in the biosynthesis of bioemulsifiers and the formation of phenomenal
stable emulsions are also discussed in the present study |
