| Abstract | The potential production of rhamnolipids was demonstrated using the thermophilic eubacterium Thermus thermophilus HB8 and sunflower seed oil or oleic acid as carbon sources. Sunflower seed oil was directly hydrolyzed by secretion of lipase and became a favorable carbon source for rhamnolipids production. Rhamnolipids levels were attainted high values, comparable to those produced by Pseudomonas strains from similar sources. Rhamnolipids synthesis in oleic acid exhibited a long period of induction, while in sunflower seed oil, the synthesis is more rapid. Glucose resulted in a more protracted period of rhamnolipids production after exhaustion of each or both carbon sources. Both mono- and di-rhamnolipids were identified by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) in the total rhamnolipids extract. The molecular composition of the produced biosurfactant was evaluated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy and LC-MS analysis. Furthermore, secretion of rhamnolipids was confirmed on agar plates. The antimicrobial activity of rhamnolipids was detected against the bacterium Micrococcus lysodeikticus using a lysoplate assay. These results demonstrate that rhamnolipids produced in these substrates can be useful in both environmental and food industry applications by using cheap oil wastes. The alternative use of this thermophilic microorganism opens a new perspective concerning the valorization of wastes containing plant oils or frying oils to reduce the cost of rhamnolipids production. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
