Adsorption of dirhamnolipid on four microorganisms and the effect on cell surface hydrophobicity
Abstract
In this study, adsorption of dirhamnolipid biosurfactant on a Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa, two Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis, and a yeast, Candida lipolytica, was investigated, and the causality between the adsorption and change of cell surface hydrophobicity was discussed. The adsorption was not only specific to the microorganisms but also depended on the physiological status of the cells. Components of the biosurfactant with …
