Rhamnolipid-Like Glycolipid Biosurfactant from Achromobacter xylosoxidans BP(1)5: Single-Factor Optimization, Characterization, and Oil Removal Application

Key Points

• The aim is to optimize the production of a biosurfactant derived from Achromobacter xylosoxidans and evaluate its application in oil removal.
• Single-factor optimization procedures were used to enhance biosurfactant production.
• Characterization techniques assessed the properties of the glycolipid.
• Experimental setups tested the effectiveness of the biosurfactant for oil removal.
• The optimized biosurfactant showed significant efficiency in removing oil from contaminated surfaces.
• Characterization confirmed its rhamnolipid-like structure and properties suitable for bioremediation.
