Search for biosurfactant producers among the Black Sea microbiota and determination of their biotechnological potential

Purpose. For the use of biosurfactants in biotechnology, obtaining enantiomers of drugs.

Application area. Scientific research in biotechnology. Medicine.

Advantages. There are no analogues in the world.

Description. A collection of Black Sea bacteria – producers of biosurfactants (biosurfactants) – has been created. Methods for cultivating associations of marine microorganisms have been developed, and the most effective bacterial consortia for the synthesis of biosurfactants have been proposed. Using the developed methods for mono- and co-cultivation of marine bacteria, 45 samples of biosurfactants were obtained and their biological activity was assessed. An agreement was concluded with the Physicochemical Institute named after. O.V. Bogatskogo NAS of Ukraine on the use of biosurfactants in biotechnology for the production of enantiomers of drugs.
