- Abstract
Biosurfactants are a group of surface-active compounds that can be produced by diverse microorganisms. They have been widely used in various industrial fields. Reducing production costs, improving efficiency, and collecting more diverse producing strains have become major challenges in the biosurfactant industry. These challenges could be overcome by screening for more diverse and efficient biosurfactant-producing strains. The conventional methods for the isolation and functional characterization of microorganisms are laborious and biased toward fast-growing or strongly competitive microorganisms. Here, we established a high-throughput approach of single-cell-based cultivation and functional characterization of biosurfactant-producing bacteria (SCCBB). This approach combines single-cell cultivation with the detection of optical distortions. Using this approach, we isolated 431 strains with biosurfactant production potential from petroleum-contaminated soil and oilfield-produced water. The surfactant production capabilities of the strains were subsequently validated using surface tension measurements, TLC, and CMC measurements. To investigate the industrial production potential, we optimized the production conditions of a representative glycolipids-producing strain, Pseudomonas sp. L01, using response surface methodology (RSM). Optimal conditions yielded a crude biosurfactant yield of 8.43 g/L in a flask. Our work provides a high-throughput approach to the isolation and screening of biosurfactant-producing bacteria, as well as other functional bacteria in a wide range of fields.
