Isolation, production and characterization of bioemulsifiers of marine bacteria of coastal Tamil Nadu
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Coastal region of Chah Bahar port, Sea of Oman, was screened for the presence of bioluminescence bacteria for the first time. Water samples were taken from surface and subsurface layers and immediately spread on nutrient seawater complete (SWC) agar. Luminous colonies were observed after an overnight incubation at 25°C. Among twenty luminous isolates, four of them were selected for preliminary ...
