Culture conditions involving variations in carbon and nitrogen sources and different C:N ratios were examined with the aim of increasing productivity in the process of rhamnolipid synthesis by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In addition to the differences in productivity, the use of different carbon sources resulted in several proportions related to the types of rhamnolipids synthesized (monorhamnolipids and dirhamnolipids). Furthermore, the variation in nutrients, mainly the nitrogen source, resulted in different amounts of virulence factors, as phenazines and extracellular proteins. The data point out a new concern in the choice of substrate to be used for rhamnolipid production by P. aeruginosa: toxic byproducts.
