Modeling of biosurfactant synthesis using Bacillus ssp
Bacteria belonging to the genus Bacillus produce biogenic surface-active compounds which are a sustainable alternative to synthetic ones. The amount of the target products depends significantly on the conditions of microorganism cultivation, especially the components of the medium. In this study, we utilized Bacillus spp. strain that can grow in a glycerol-containing medium. We used the Monod model to determine the growth kinetics of the bacteria depending on the concentration of nutrients in the medium.
