    Abstract:
    Differences in the rhamnolipid structures must result in its different activities, thus affecting its application effect. The rhlC gene in Pseudomonas aeruginosa SG was knocked out to construct strain P. aeruginosa SGΔrhlC. Rhamnolipid production was enhanced by 23.3% through knocking out rhlC gene. P. aeruginosa SGΔrhlC produced 14.22 g/L of rhamnolipid using glycerol and nitrate. Five kinds of mono-rhamnolipid but no di-rhamnolipid were produced by strain SGΔrhlC. The main rhamnolipid homologues were Rha-C10-C10, Rha-C10-C12:1 and Rha-C10-C12. Mono-rhamnolipid exhibited better antimicrobial activity to Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Aspergillus niger and Penicillium chrysogenum. Rhamnolipid produced from strain SGΔrhlC showed greater emulsifying activity to crude oil with EI24 of 84.73%. Rhamnolipid produced from strain SGΔrhlC efficiently washed oily sludge at 35 °C. High-producing strain P. aeruginosa SGΔrhlC and its produced mono-rhamnolipid are more promising in agriculture and petroleum industry. This study is a step forward to the tailor-made biosynthesis and application of rhamnolipid.
