Abstract
Biosurfactant-producing bacteria, showing strong crude oil degrading activity, were isolated from the caverns of National Oil Storage Basement. From the results of biochemical and molecular biological tests, the isolate was identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens PD101. It grows well on liquid media at temperature range from $20^{\circ}C\;to\;37^{\circ}C,$ but it does not produce biosurfactant when grown at $37^{\circ}C$ or at higher temperature. The biosurfactant was stable at broad pH range from 5 to 11 and under heat treatment condition of $100^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The biosurfactant produced dark blue halo around the colony when grown on SW agar plates, which could confirm the biosurfactant as one of rhamnolipid group. The 700 bp of PCR product could be amplified from DNA of P. flurorescens PD101 by using PCR primers designed from rh1A gene of P. aeruginosa, and it showed $99\%$ of sequence homology with rh1A gene of P. aeruginosa encoding rhamnosyltransferase 1.
