Abstract
Novel bacterial strain 3.7 was isolated from oil-contaminated soil in Southern Vietnam that is capable to grow on hexadecane as sole carbon and energy sources. This isolate was identified as Gordonia amicalis (with related 100%) based on 16S rRNA sequence analysis. The strain 3.7 produces at least two classes of biosurfactants (glycolipid, lipopeptid) those possess high emulsifying activity (E24 = 67%). Fatty acid composition in organic extract was determined by GC-MS, most of them are hexadecanoic acid (53%). Thus, G.amicalis 3.7 could be used as component in biopreparation for clean up of oil-contaminated areas and as potential producer of surface active compounds.
