Table 1. Rhamnolipid production of different motile P. aeruginosa strains and clinical isolates.
P. aeruginosa isolate (source) | Rhamnolipid concentration (µg/ml) |
PAO1 | 336±78 |
PAK | 38±6 |
PAKΔfliC | 20±1 |
PA-O (skin) | 56±17 |
PA227 (blood) | 63±10 |
PA264 (skin) | 538±76 |
PA391 (CF-lung) | 795±1 |
PA1450 (skin) | 702±25 |
Rhamnolipids were isolated from 24 h cultures of different P.aeruginosa isolates by chloroform extraction and quantified by the Methylene-blue method. The rhamnolipid concentration is given as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments.
