Anaerobic biosynthesis of rhamnolipids by Pseudomonas aeruginosa: performance, mechanism and its application potential for enhanced oil recovery

Abstract Background Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the rhamnolipids-producer, is one of dominant bacteria in oil reservoirs. Although P. aeruginosa strains are facultative bacteria, the anaerobic biosynthesis mechanism of rhamnolipids is unclear. Considering the oxygen scarcity within oil reservoirs, revea...
