Antimicrobial Applications of Rhamnolipid Biosurfactant Produced from Achromobacter sp. (PS1) Isolate Using Lignocellulosic Hydrolysate
Letters in Applied NanoBioScience(2021)
摘要
Heterogeneous mixture of partially purified rhamnolipid (RL) produced from Achromobacter sp. (PS1) using lignocellulosic rice straw (RS) sugar hydrolysate medium revealed six different congeners- Rha- C10-C10, Rha-C8-C10/Rha-C10-C8, Rha- C12-C10 / Rha- C10-C12, referring mono-rhamnolipids amounting to total 68.23 % and Rha-Rha-C10-C10, Rha-Rha-C8-C10/Rha-Rha-C10-C8, Rha-Rha-C10-C12/Rha-Rha-C12-C10, referring di-rhamnolipids amounting to 31.73 %, with Mono to Di- RL in the ratio of 2.1:1. This mixture's antimicrobial action containing more mono-rhamnolipids analyzed using broth macro-dilution method exhibited a broad-spectrum antibacterial activity showing ≥ 90 % growth inhibition of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria at MIC ranging from 1.25 mg/mL to 10 mg/mL of total rhamnolipids. This might be due to the more hydrophobic character of mono-rhamnolipids containing a single rhamnosyl group and showing high surface activities. On the other hand, the non-antifungal activity may be attributed to the lower percentage of di-rhamnolipids in the partially purified mixture.
