Abstract: This study emphasizes on the evaluation of the ability of the marine strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa to biosynthesize biosurfactant from the various carbon sources and to characterize the rhamnolipid produced. The need of viable alternatives from toxic synthetic surfactants are inevitable in the current status quo where environmental protection is being implemented. Biosurfactant provides an insight to this issue where its application does not produce adverse effects to the environment. The production of biosurfactant also opens up doors to utilize organic wastes as carbon source fuel for the biosynthesis process thus giving an additional value to these wastes. The study sees that the production of rhamnolipid is significant in all carbon sources with different capacity and concentrations. The diversity of the P. aeruginosa strain to survive in various terrain and condition may be a reason of the positive outcome from the tests. Collectively, the results obtained from this study may be able to provide additional information to the bettennent of biosurfactant study.
