Value-added conversion of biodiesel into the versatile biosurfactant sophorolipid using Starmerella bombicola
In this study, we tested whether biodiesel could be used as a feedstock for the microbial synthesis of sophorolipid, a high value-added chemical. Sophorolipid was successfully produced from Starmerrella bombicola using biodiesel as a hydrophobic substrate. Fed-batch fermentation was carried out for...
