Abstract	A new isolate belonging to Alcaligenes faecalis extracellularly produced a strong Surface active agent (1.2±0.05 gl-1) after growing on molasses. The highest surface tension reduction was determined to level 20 mN/m under optimum conditions at 50°C. The optimum values of carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N), salinity, pH, and temperature obtained were 60:1, 7.5%, 7.0 and 50°C, respectively using Taguchi experimental design method. In Laboratory-scale core flooding experiments with biosurfactant, the oil recovery of crude oil was increased from 41% and 44% to 51.7% and 49.6% of original oil in place for permeabilities of 1 and 54 mD, respectively.
