Reuse of waste frying oil for production of rhamnolipids using Pseudomonas aeruginosa zju.u1M

In this work, rhamnolipid production was investigated using waste frying oil as the sole carbon source. By culture in shaking flasks, a naturally isolated strain synthesized rhamnolipid at concentration of 12.47 g/L and its mutant after treatment by UV light increased this productivity to 24.61 g/L. Fermentation was also conducted in a 50 L bioreactor and the productivity reached over 20 g/L. Hence, with a stable and high productive mutant strain, it could be feasible to reuse waste frying oil for rhamnolipid production on industrial scale.
