Abstract

Aureobasidium pullulans YTP6-14 was demonstrated to be an excellent multiple biosurfactant producer utilizing cheap carbon sources available in Thailand, including glycerol and cassava flour hydrolysate. A. pullulans YTP6-14 maximally produced 1.81 g/l biosurfactant in an aqueous layer (BS-AQ) in a medium containing glycerol, and 7.37 or 6.37 g/l biosurfactant in a heavy oil layer (BS-HO) in cassava flour hydrolysate or a glucose containing medium, respectively. Each BS-AQ and BS-HO had critical micelle concentration values of 41.32 mg/l and 13.51 mg/l, and both biosurfactants formed a stable food oil emulsion and reduced the amount of biofilms formed by Streptococcus sobrinus and Streptococcus mutans. BS-AQ and BS-HO were mainly composed of liamocins or exophilins and massoia lactone, respectively.
