Rhamnolipid production from waste cooking oil using newly isolated halotolerant Pseudomonas aeruginosa M4

AbstractThis study isolated a novel halotolerant Pseudomonas aeruginosa M4, that was able to degrade oil and produce rhamnolipids. Various carbon sources, nitrogen sources, inoculum ratio, pH, and temperature were tested to optimize the oil degradation conditions. The highest oil degradation rate of 85.20 % and lipase activity of 23.86 U/mL were obtained under the optimal conditions (5% inoculum at 35 °C and pH 8). The components of degradation products at different times were analyzed to explore the mechanism of oil degradation by GC-MS. Short chain fatty acid of acetic and n-butyric acids were the primary degradation intermediates. P. aeruginosa M4 had good salt tolerance up to 70 g/L. The maximum rhamnolipid concentration of 1119.87 mg/L was produced when P. aeruginosa M4 used waste cooking oil as the sole carbon source. Rhamnose precursors were synthesized from glycerol, a hydrolysis product of waste cooking oil. R-3-hydroxyalkanoate precursors were synthesized de novo using acetyl-CoA produced from β-oxidation of fatty acids. The findings show that P. aeruginosa M4 is a valuable biosurfactant producer in the treatment of waste cooking oil.Key PointsP. aeruginosa isolation, oil degradation mechanism, rhamnolipid production from WCO

The decrease in oil production is caused by the ageing of oil production wells. The enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technology is proven to increase oil reserves and production in mature oil fields. One EOR technology that has proven to be efficient in increasing oil production is microbial EOR by using biosurfactant. The most effective biosurfactant is rhamnolipid produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the bacteria of which can lower the interfacial tension between the petroleum and water. In biosurfactants production thanks to these bacteria, the substrate as the source of carbon in the fermentation process is needed. The sources of carbon used in this study are glucose, glycerol, molasses, banana peels, and waste from Pseudomonas aeruginosa by using Busnell Hass medium as a liquid medium of bacterial growth. Biosurfactants production results are; 74mg/L from glucose; 63mg/L from banana peels; 66mg / L from glycerol; 85mg/L from waste cooking oil; and 64mg/L of molasses with the following decreasing surface tension: 33.55 mN/m from glucose; 32.51 mN/m from banana peels; 27.55 mN/m from glycerol; 22.46 mN/m from waste cooking oil; and 31.49 mN/m from molasses. In addition, the decrease of interface tension of glucose; banana peels; glycerol; waste cooking oil; and molasses are as follows : 15.2 mN/m; 13.78 mN/m; 8:15 mN/m; 0.14 mN/m; and 11.2 mN/m respectively.Menurunnya produksi minyak bumi disebabkan karena sumur produksi yang sudah tua. Teknologi enhanced oil recovery (EOR) terbukti mampu meningkatkan cadangan dan produksi lapangan minyak mature. Salah satu teknologi EOR yang dikenal efi sien dalam meningkatkan perolehan minyak adalah microbial enhanced oil recovery menggunakan biosurfaktan. Biosurfaktan yang paling efektif adalah rhamnolipid yang dihasilkan oleh bakteri Pseudomonas aeruginosa yang dapat menurunkan tegangan antarmuka antara minyak bumi dengan air. Dalam produksi biosurfaktan oleh bakteri ini, diperlukan substrat sebagai sumber karbon dalam proses fermentasi. Sumber karbon yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah glukosa, gliserol, molase, kulit pisang, dan minyak jelantah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui sumber karbon yang paling optimum dalam menghasilkan biosurfaktan dari Pseudomonas aeruginosa dengan menggunakan busnell hass medium sebagai media cair pertumbuhan bakteri. Produksi biosurfaktan yang dihasilkan adalah 74mg/L dari glukosa; 63mg/L dari kulit pisang; 66mg/L dari gliserol; 85mg/L dari minyak jelantah; dan 64mg/L dari molase dengan penurunan tegangan permukaan berturutturut: 33,55 mN/m dari glukosa; 32,51 mN/m dari kulit pisang; 27,55 mN/m dari gliserol; 22,46 mN/m dari minyak jelantah; dan 31,49 mN/m serta memiliki penurunan tegangan antarmuka dari glukosa; kulit pisang; glisero; minyak jelantah; dan molase berturut-turut adalah 15,2 mN/m; 13,78 mN/m; 8,15 mN/m; 0,14 mN/m; dan 11,2 mN/m.

In the present age, environmental pollution is multiplying due to various anthropogenic activities. Pollution from waste cooking oil is one of the main issues facing the current human population. Scientists and researchers are seriously concerned about the oils released from various activities, including the blockage of the urban drainage system and odor issues. In addition, cooking oil is known to be harmful and may have a carcinogenic effect. It was found that current research studies and publications are growing on these topics due to environmental problems. A bibliometric analysis of studies published from 2001 to 2021 on cooking oil degradation was carried out using the Scopus database. Primarily, this analysis identified the reliability of the topic for the present-day and explored the past and present progresses of publications on various aspects, including the contributing countries, journals and keywords co-occurrence. The links and interactions between the selected subjects (journals and keywords) were further visualised using the VOSviewer software. The analysis showed that the productivity of the publications is still developing, with the most contributing country being the United States, followed by China and India with 635, 359 and 320 publications, respectively. From a total of 1915 publications, 85 publications were published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. Meanwhile, the second and third of the most influential journals were Bioresource Technology and Industrial Crops and Products with 76 and 70 total publications, respectively. Most importantly, the co-occurrence of the author’s keywords revealed “biodegradation”, “bioremediation”, “vegetable oil” and “Antarctic” as the popular topics in this study area, especially from 2011 to 2015. In conclusion, this bibliometric analysis on the degradation of cooking oil may serve as guide for future avenues of research in this area of research.
