Abstract

Rhamnolipids are recognized as eco-friendly biosurfactants and produced by the bio-process employing bacteria. Pseudomons aeruginosa is well-known to produce rhamnolipids in high yield during fermentation process. Rhamnose and 𝛽-hydroxylated fatty acid are main chemicals for rhamnolipids, which are produced in the form of congener mixtures. In this paper, the synthetic mechanism of rhamnolipids within bacteria cells was presented in part and foam control technologies were qualitatively described. Foam control during fermentation process was important to regulate a continuous process. During last decade, the technologies are developed enough to challenge to a commercial-scale production. In particular, rhamnolipids will be more valuable if these can be applicable to value-added chemicals, such as medicines.

친환경적 바이오 계면활성제의 하나인 람노리피드(rhamnolipid)의 제조는 Pseudomonas aeruginos 계열의 박테리아가 가장 많이 사용되며, 바이오 공정을 통해 생산된다. 람노리피드의 화학구조는 rhamnose당과 𝛽-hydroxylated fatty acid의 결합으로 이루어져 있으며, 바이오 공정을 통해 동질체 혼합물 형태로 생산된다. 발효(fermentation)공정 중 거품 제어가 수율을 결정하는 가장 중요한 요인으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는, 박테리아 내부에서 일어나는 람노리피드 합성 메카니즘을 소개하였고, 발효공정에서 문제점으로 인식되었던 거품 제어 방법에 대한 최근 시도들을 살펴보았다. 10년 전과 비교하여, 람노리피드 양산화 가능성은 빠르게 높아지고 있다. 특히, 람노리피드와 같은 바이오 계면활성제는 의약품과 같은 고부가가치 제품으로 응용된다면, 시장의 요구가 더 커질 것으로 기대한다.
