Jonas ContieroPseudomonas strains are able to biosynthesize rhamnose‐containing surfactants also known as rhamnolipids. These surface‐active compounds are reviewed with respect to chemical structure, properties, biosynthesis, and physiological role, focusing on their production and the use of low‐cost substrates such as wastes from food industries as alternative carbon sources. The use of inexpensive raw materials such as agroindustrial wastes is an attractive strategy to reduce the production costs associated with biosurfactant production and, at same time, contribute to the reduction of environmental impact generated by the discard of residues, and the treatment costs. Carbohydrate‐rich substrates generated low rhamnolipid levels, whereas oils and lipid‐rich wastes have shown excellent potential as alternative carbon sources.

Jonas ContieroOil wastes were evaluated as alternative low‐cost substrates for the production of rhamnolipids by Pseudomonas aeruginosa LBI strain. Wastes obtained from soybean, cottonseed, babassu, palm, and corn oil refinery were tested. The soybean soapstock waste was the best substrate, generating 11.7 g/L of rhamnolipids with a surface tension of 26.9 mN/m, a critical micelle concentration of 51.5 mg/L, and a production yield of 75%. The monorhamnolipid RhaC10C10 predominates when P. aeruginosa LBI was cultivated on hydrophobic substrates, whereas hydrophilic carbon sources form the dirhamnolipid Rha2C10C10 predominantly.

Jonas ContieroAbout Me
Jonas Contiero graduated with a degree in Food Engineering from the State University of Campinas (1977), a Master's in Food Science and Technology from the University of São Paulo (1984), a PhD in Food Engineering from the State University of Campinas (1992) and a Post-Doctorate from Ohio State University (1996–1997) and has been a Full Professor since 2005. He is currently a Prof. Assistant III at Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho. He held the position of Vice Director (2007–2011), Director (2011–2015) and Executive Vice-Coordinator of the Bioenergy Research Institute of Unesp (IPBEN). He is currently the Coordinator Executive of IPBEN and a member of the Curator Council of ParqTec. He has experience in microbiology, with an emphasis on industrial and fermentation microbiology, working mainly on the following subjects: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, biosurfactant, lactic acid, rhamnolipids and submerged fermentation.
