Alkanes accumulate either as byproducts or wastes from different industrial processes, including oil and gas, and present a direct threat to neighbouring ecosystems when released. On the other hand, alkanes provide a potential raw material for bioconversion, as optimum productivity from carbon based resources is important for sustainable bioprocessing. This work explores the potential of Ps aeruginosa 2Bf to use environmental pollutants such as hydrocarbons for the synthesis of commercial products via bioprocesses. The alkane potential to induce biosurfactant production, the optimisation of...
