Abstract:: ... The extracellular biosurfactant product secreted by a marine bacterium was concentrated and purified directly from the fermentation broth in a single step by ultrafiltration (UF) employing YM 30 kDa (UF-I) and Omega 10 kDa (UF-II) polyethersulfone membranes. The optimum operating pressure required for both membranes, UF-I and UF-II, were found to be 30 and 35 psi, respectively. The biosurfactant f ...
