abstract = {A large variety of microorganisms produces biosurfactants
with the potential for a number of diverse industrial
applications. To identify suitable wild-type or engineered
production strains, efficient screening methods are needed,
allowing for rapid and reliable quantification of
biosurfactants in multiple cultures, preferably at high
throughput. To this end, we have established a novel and
sensitive assay for the quantification of biosurfactants
based on the dye Victoria Pure Blue BO (VPBO). The assay
allows the colorimetric assessment of biosurfactants
directly in culture supernatants and does not require
extraction or concentration procedures. Working ranges were
determined for precise quantification of different
rhamnolipid biosurfactants; titers in culture supernatants
of recombinant Pseudomonas putida KT2440 calculated by this
assay were confirmed to be the same ranges detected by
independent high-performance liquid chromatography
(HPLC)-charged aerosol detector (CAD) analyses. The assay
was successfully applied for detection of chemically
different anionic or non-ionic biosurfactants including
mono- and di-rhamnolipids (glycolipids), mannosylerythritol
lipids (MELs, glycolipids), 3-(3-hydroxyalkanoyloxy)
alkanoic acids (fatty acid conjugates), serrawettin W1
(lipopeptide), and N-acyltyrosine (lipoamino acid). In
summary, the VPBO assay offers a broad range of applications
including the comparative evaluation of different
cultivation conditions and high-throughput screening of
biosurfactant-producing microbial strains.},
