In this study, a novel thermo stable biosurfactants, 1-Pentanonacontene (C95H190) a fatty alkene and 3-Hydroxy16-methylheptadecanoic acid (C18H36O3) were isolated from a marine isolate SGD-AC-13. Biosurfactants were produced using 1% yeast extract in tap water as production medium at 24 h in flask and 12 h in bioreactor. Using 16S rRNA gene sequence (1515 bp) and BCL card (bioMerieux VITEK (R)), strain was identified as Bacillus sp. Crude biosurfactant reduced the surface tension of distilled water to 31.32 +/- 0.93 mN/m with CMC value of 0.3 mg/ml. Cell free supernatant showed excellent emulsification and oil displacement activity with stability up to 160 degrees C, pH 6-12 and 50 g/L NaCl conc. Biosurfactants were characterized using FTIR, TLC, HPLC LC-MS and NMR spectroscopy. Cell free supernatant reduced the contact angle of distilled water droplet from 117 degrees to 52.28 degrees and of 2% pesticide from 78.77 degrees to 73.42 degrees while 750 mu g/ml of crude biosurfactant reduced from 66.06 degrees to 56.33 degrees for 2% pesticide and recovered 35% ULO and 12% HWCO from the contaminated sand. To our best of knowledge, this is the first report of thermo stable fatty alkene as a biosurfactant and is structurally different from previously reported, with having potential application in agriculture, oil recovery and bioremediation.
