Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Biochemistry
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Surfactin, a mixture of cyclic lipopeptides, is produced by Bacillus subtilis.
  • Biosurfactants have potential industrial applications due to their surface-active properties.
  • Efficient purification methods are crucial for characterizing and utilizing surfactin isoforms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To isolate and identify a biosurfactant-producing strain from an oil field.
  • To develop and validate a novel purification procedure for surfactin isoforms.
  • To characterize the purified surfactin isoforms using analytical techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Isolation of Bacillus subtilis HSO121 from oil field production water.
  • Purification of surfactin using acid precipitation, methanol extraction, C18 solid-phase extraction, and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
  • Analysis of surfactin isoforms by thin-layer chromatography (TLC), amino acid composition determination via HPLC after acid hydrolysis, and infrared (IR) spectroscopy.

Main Results:

  • Eight surfactin isoforms were successfully isolated and purified.
  • The novel purification method demonstrated high effectiveness in fractionating lipopeptides.
  • Analysis confirmed the isolated compounds belonged to the surfactin group, exhibiting similar amino acid compositions and IR patterns.

Conclusions:

  • Bacillus subtilis HSO121 is an effective producer of multiple surfactin isoforms.
  • The developed purification technique is highly efficient for isolating and fractionating surfactin and potentially other lipopeptides.
  • This method offers a valuable tool for the characterization and application of complex lipopeptide mixtures.
