A process for preparing glycilipid surfactant using Pseudozyma sp.

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for producing MEL-e, which is a kind of glycolipid surfactant, MEL SY16, and Pseudozyma sp. SY16, which is known to produce MEL-e, in a medium containing a fatty acid as a carbon source And recovering MEL-e from the culture. The present invention also relates to a method for mass-producing MEL-e using the microorganism of the genus Pseudomonas. Using the mass production method of MEL-e of the present invention, it is possible to economically produce MEL-e, which is a glycolipid surfactant, which is superior to the conventional glycolipid surfactants. Therefore, productivity of the environment, agriculture, It can be used widely to improve.
