Five mycolic acids were synthesized using acyl chlorides with different lengths of alkyl chain. The relationship between the chemical structure of mycolic acids and surface active properties was determined. Emulsifying activities of mycolic acids were determined for n-tetradecane, n-hexadecane, cyclohexane, and diesel oil. Dynamics of diesel oil biodegradation were investigated at 1,000 to 20,000 ppm as the initial substrate concentrations using Gordonia sp. and Rhodococcus sp. isolated from wastewater previously. Then, the biodegradation enhancement of diesel oi1 by the synthetic mycolic acid biosurfactant was investigated. |
