摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of producing biosurfactants, such as surfactin, comprising culturing at least one biosurfactant-producing microbe in a liquid culture medium comprising vinasse as a carbon source. Methods of using the crude biosurfactant containing culture broth in tertiary oil recovery and as antibacterial compositions in tertiary oil recovery are also described. Methods of using the culture broth residue after isolation of the biosurfactants as fertilizer and compositions for this use are also described.
