Glycolipid biosurfactants, mannosylerythritol lipids (MELs), were produced from glucose and sucrose without vegetable oils. Pseudozyma antarctica JCM 10317, Ustilago maydis NBRC 5346, U. scitaminea NBRC 32730, and P. siamensis CBS 9960 produced mainly MEL-A, MEL-A, MEL-B, and MEL-C respectively. The sucrose-derived MELs showed excellent interfacial properties: low critical micelle concentration as well as that of oil-derived MELs.
糖脂生物表面活性剂,甘露糖赤藓糖醇脂(MELs),是由葡萄糖和蔗糖在无植物油的情况下生产的。南极假丝酵母JCM 10317、玉米黑粉菌NBRC 5346、甘蔗黑粉菌NBRC 32730和暹罗假丝酵母CBS 9960分别主要产生MEL-A、MEL-A、MEL-B和MEL-C。源自蔗糖的MELs表现出优异的界面性质:临界胶束浓度低,与源自植物油的MELs相当。
