Emulsifier formation with Acinetobacter: search for an excretion-reduced mutant of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus 69-V.
After growth on acetate three groups of Acinetobacter strains could be identified with respect to the excretion of a bioemulsifier. Mutants of A. calcoaceticus 69-V were selected which produced reduced amounts of emulsifier.
