Resumo
Biossurfactantes são compostos tensoativos produzidos por vários microrganismos, dentre esses microrganismos as leveduras se destacam por produzi-los em ampla escala. Para que a produção seja economicamente viável é sugerido o uso de fontes de carbono alternativas. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo isolar leveduras e verificar a capacidade de produção de biossurfactantes em fontes de carbono convencionais e alternativas. A partir de um consórcio microbiano enriquecido, foram isoladas sete leveduras e todas apresentaram potencial de produção de biossurfactantes em óleo de soja. O isolado LBPF 3, caracterizado como Candida antarctica, obteve o maior rendimento de produto com uma produção final de 13,86 g/L. Os isolados LBPF 7, caracterizado como Candida albicans, LBPF 9, LBPF 10, caracterizados como Candida glabrata, e LBPF 15, caracterizado como Candida albicans apresentaram potencial de produção de biossurfactantes em resíduos agroindustriais, com destaque para LBPF 9 que obteve a maior redução na tensão superficial do seu meio utilizando glicerol como substrato, aproximadamente 43% com 24 horas de incubação. A caracterização presuntiva dos isolados através da utilização de meios cromogênicos evidenciou a predominância do gênero Candida. Os produtos obtidos pelos isolados apresentaram atividade surfactante reduzindo a tensão superficial da água para valores que variaram de 34 mN/m para os produtos produzidos pelos isolados LBPF 3 e LBPF 7, a 43 mN/m para o isolado LPPF 9, utilizando glicerol como substrato. Conclui-se que o enriquecimento e posterior “screening” realizados para obtenção das leveduras foram eficientes. Os isolados demonstraram possuírem potencial para produção de biossurfactantes tanto em fontes de carbono convencionais como em resíduos...
Biosurfactants are bioactive agents that can be produced by many different microorganisms. Of these, yeasts stand out since they can produce these bioproducts in large scale. For this production to be economically viable, the use of alternative carbon sources is recommended. In the present study, different yeast strains were isolated to verify their capacity for producing biosurfactants using conventional and alternative carbon sources. From a enriched microbial consortium, seven different yeasts were isolated, and all showed potential for the production of biosurfactants in soybean oil. Isolate LBPF 3, characterized as species Candida antarctica, obtained the highest production: 13.86 g/L. Isolate LBPF 7, characterized as Candida albicans, isolates LBPF 9 and LBPF 10, each characterized as Candida glabrata, and yet LBPF 15, characterized as Candida albicans, all presented potential for the production of biosurfactants in agroindustrial residue. Of these, LBPF 9 stood out by obtaining the highest reduction of surface tension in its medium, approximately 43% after 24 hours, using glycerol as substrate. Presumptive characterization of the isolates was done by chromogenic analysis and showed a predominance of the Candida genera. The products obtained by the isolates presented surfactant activity which reduced the surface tension of water to values that varied from 34 mN/m, for the product obtained from isolates LBPF 3 and LBPF 7, to 43 mN/m for the isolate LBPF 9, all using glycerol as substrate. The obtained results led to the conclusion that the processes of enrichment and posterior screening, used for obtaining the yeasts, were efficient. The assessed isolates all showed potential for the production of biosurfactants in conventional sources of carbon as well as in agroindustrial waste, especially in glycerol. Therefore, the considered... (Summary complete electronic access click below)
