Popis: A bioemulsifier excreting bacterium of the species Peudomonas cepacia was isolated after a screeningprocedure using n-dodecane as carbon source. Thepartly purified bioemulsifier was preliminarily identifiedas a mixture of glycolipids. A decrease of the surfacetension to 37 mN/m and a CMC of 5 mg/l could bemeasured with the bioemulsifier GL-K12. Usingsunflower oil as main carbon source, up to 7.1 g/lbioemulsifier could be produced in oxygen and nitrogenlimited fermentations on a scale of 300 l. Thebiodegradation of Aroclor 1242 in liquid cultures by abacterial mixed population was enhanced by GL-K12when added at biosurfactant concentrations of 0.2 g/l ormore. The most positive effect was noted in thedegradation of PCB congeners with 3 Cl atoms with anincrease of up to 100%.
