Abstract

This work presents the results obtained from the laboratory-scale experimentation for the optimization of production of rhamnolipid-type biosurfactant in a batch process, through the calculation and analysis of yield parameters. Different carbon/nitrogen ratios were studied, for which the production rates of rhamnolipid under nitrogen limitation was defined. Bacterial growth yield parameters YX/N and YX/C, were also calculated.
