Abstract :
Biosurfactant producing microorganisms
Bacillus sp, isolated from the Rhizosphere soil area
Mangorve ecosystem at Vellar –Coleroon Estuarine
complex, Killai backwater, Chidambaram, Tamilnadu,
India. The biosurfactant producing ability was tested in
crude oil as the hydrocarbon in a Minimal Salt Medium
(MSM). The isolate found to produce Biosurfactant
which is evident from the rapid screening test. The
biochemical and Fourier transform infrared
spectroscopy studies reveal the Biosurfactant is a
lipopeptide. The biocontrol potential of the crude
Biosurfactant tested against Early blight of tomato
(Solanum lycopersicum L.) is caused by Alternaria solani
(Ellis & Martin), which is one of the most devastating
diseases in tomatoes. Currently, the only way to stop the
illness from spreading is to apply fungicides. In vitro
experiments revealed that at a concentration of 3.00 g l-1
,
the biosurfactant generated by this bacterial strain
inhibited the growth of A. solani by 72 per cent. In the
pot culture, a concentration of 1.50 g l-1
crude
biosurfactant was adequate to completely inhibit A.
solani.
