Biodegradation Enhancement of The Mixture of Kerosene and Diesel by using Biosurfactant from Pseudomonas aeruginosa F722

We studied degradation effects of hydrophobic substrate such as kerosene and diesel by adding a biosurfactant originated from Pseudomonas aeruginosa F722 and chemical surfactants (Tween 80 and detergent) with aeration. The surface tensions of the biosurfactant, Tween 80 and detergent were 30mN/m, 39mN/m and 31mN/m, respectively. When the concentration of biosurfactant added in C-medium was 0.01 and 0.15%(w/v), the ratios of hydrocarbon degradation were 94.3％ and 94.2% respectively. It was 6.2%(w/v) higher than when the concentrations of added biosurfactant were 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2％. The degradation ratios of the chemical surfactants (Tween 80 and detergent) were 94.5％ and 93.5％ respectively. The effects of the biosurfactant and chemical surfactants were similar on the degradation ratio in mixtures of kerosene and diesel. However, the population of viable p. aeruginosa F722 at the end of the cultivation period was twice as higher in the biosurfactant than that in the chemical surfactant. We also studied the effect of aeration (0.5vvm) on the degradation ratio. The biosurfactant addition experiment was conducted with 0.5vvm air, 35$^{\circ}C$, 150rpm, pH 8.0, 3days, 1.0% (w/v) substrate. When p. aeruginosa F722 and 0.15%(w/v) biosurfactant were added, the degradation ratio of hydrocarbon was 94.8％. Without p. aeruginosa F722, it was 68%. Thus, with aeration, the degradation ratio of hydrocarbon was increased by 26.8％. In addition, the cultivation time was shortened by 1/3. The degradation ratios of hydrocarbon in shaking culture (cultivation time; 3days) and stationary culture (cultivation time; 10days) were 94.8 and 93.7％ respectively. Thus, the addition of biosurfactant and aeration enhanced the degradation of hydrocarbon originated kerosene and diesel.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa F722부터 유래된 biosurfactant를 이용한 등.경유 혼합물의 생분해율 향상

본 연구에서는 등$.$경유 혼합물을 Pseudomonas aeruginosa F722를 이용하여 분해시킬 때 생분해율에 미치는 생물계면활성제, 화학계면활성제 및 공기 공급량의 영향을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 탄화수소 분해율은 0.01%와 0.15% 농도의 생물계면활제를 첨가하였을 때가 0.05%, 0.1% 및 0.2%농도의 생물계면활제를 첨가하였을 때보다 최고 6.2% 높은 94.3, 94.2% 제거율을 나타냈다. 하지만, 0.15% 생물계면활제를 첨가하였을 때가 0.01% 생물계면활제를 첨가하였을 때보다 탄화수소 분해율이 더 안정적이었다. 그리고 생물계면활성제 (surface tension; 30mN/m)와 화학계면활성제 (Tween 80;39mN/m, detergent;31mN/m)를 0.15% 농도로 첨가하여 배양하였을때, 탄화수소 분해율은 94.2, 93.5, 93.4%로 비슷하였다. 하지만, P. aeruginosa F722의 개체수는 생물계면활성제를 첨가했을 때가 화학계면활성제를 첨가했을 때보다 2배 이상 증가된 19 ${\times}$ $10^{7}$ cfu/$m\ell$로 조사되었다. 0.5vvm으로 공기를 공급하면서 교반을 수행하였을 때, 배양 3일 후, 사용균주를 접종하지 않은 공시험에서 탄화수소 분해율은 68.8%였으며, P. aeruginosa F722를 접종하였을 때는 94.8%이었다. 0.5 vvm으로 공기를 공급하였을 때가 공기를 공급하지 않았을 때보다 배양시간이 1/3로 단축되었다. 그리고 교반배양 (3일)과 정치배양 (10일)에서 탄화수소 분해율은 각각 94.8, 93.7%였다.
