The strains were identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa （B 1） and Acinetobacter junii （B2）. The degradation rate of n-hexadecane by BI and B2 reached 96% and 78% respectively after 7 days, though the strains employed different mechanisms of degradation. The results showed that B2 was not able to use glucose as carbon source. B 1 could produce glyco- lipid surfactants using glucose as the carbon source, according to the results of blue agar plate analysis and thin layer chroma- tography （TLC）, and the bacterial culture of B 1 had a high oil discharge and emulsification activity. Both B I and B2 could produce biosurfactants with hexadecane as the sole carbon source, but their modes of action were different. The carbon source was found to affect the cell surface hydrophobicity. Cell surface hydrophobicity was poor with glucose as the carbon source, but enhanced when hexadecane was used as the carbon source.展开更多
