“…Por ejemplo, Gutsohn, (2017) y Sari et al (2019) estudiaron el crecimiento de Bacillus subtilis con diferentes fuentes de carbono, donde la glucosa generó el mejor rendimiento, 15 g/L y 420 mg de biosurfactante, en comparación con fuentes como el almidón, sacarosa y glicerol. Sin embargo, el uso de glucosa puede ser contraproducente desde el punto de vista económico, además de que es una fuente de carbono que no se encuentra en estado puro en la naturaleza, como la sacarosa, que puede encontrarse en otros sustratos como los residuos agroindustriales (Gutsohn, 2017;Sari et al, 2019). Por otro lado, Heryani & Putra (2017) hicieron mención del uso de la sacarosa para optimizar la producción de surfactina con Bacillus sp.…”

Biosurfactants are metabolites produced by microorganisms during their growth and reproduction. They are amphiphilic molecules capable of modifying surface and interfacial tension. A petrophilic, nitrogen-fixing, phosphorus-solubilizing, and biosurfactant-producing bacterial strain was isolated and characterized. The isolated strain was cultivated in Kim medium with a C:N ratio of 2:1, from which its growth kinetics was determined. Samples of the culture broth were taken at different times and the collapsed drop, oil dispersion and emulsification index tests were performed. Maximum culture growth occurred at 72 h. The biosurfactant was extracted from the crude cell-free broth using a mixture of solvents and a yield of 2.21 g/L was obtained. Thin-layer chromatography and FT-IR analyzes revealed the presence of a lipopeptide biosurfactant. Tensiometry tests showed that the biosurfactant was able to lower the surface tension of water from 72 mN/m to 40 mN/m and the critical micelle concentration was 0.058 (w/w). Probit analysis for toxicity determination showed that there was no weight loss in Eisenia foetida specimens in a range between 10000 and 50000 ppm.

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes are technologies used in the oil and gas industry to maximize the extraction of residual oil from reservoirs after primary and secondary recovery methods have been carried out. The injection into the reservoir of surface-active substances capable of reducing the surface tension between oil and the rock surface should favor its extraction with significant economic repercussions. However, the most commonly used surfactants in EOR are derived from petroleum, and their use can have negative environmental impacts, such as toxicity and persistence in the environment. Biosurfactants on the other hand, are derived from renewable resources and are biodegradable, making them potentially more sustainable and environmentally friendly. The present review intends to offer an updated overview of the most significant results available in scientific literature on the potential application of biosurfactants in the context of EOR processes. Aspects such as production strategies, techniques for characterizing the mechanisms of action and the pros and cons of the application of biosurfactants as a principal method for EOR will be illustrated and discussed in detail. Optimized concepts such as the HLD in biosurfactant choice and design for EOR are also discussed. The scientific findings that are illustrated and reviewed in this paper show why general emphasis needs to be placed on the development and adoption of biosurfactants in EOR as a substantial contribution to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly oil and gas industry.

The inadequacy of worldwide fossil fuel resources, combined with increasing energy demands, encourages global attention to either using alternative energy resources or improving the recovery factor and produce larger quantities from present reservoirs. Among all enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods, surfactant injection is a well-known technique that reduces the interfacial tension (IFT) between oil and water and increases oil production. Despite numerous advantages of using surfactants, there are also a few obstacles like environmental impacts, high cost, effect on humans and other organisms due to toxicological potential, and availability from nonrenewable resources. Biosurfactants are microbial surface-active agents that decrease the surface tension (ST) of a liquid phase and the IFT of two diverse phases. They are biotechnological products of high value owing to their widespread applications, low toxicity, relatively easy preparation, and specific performance, applied in different industries like organic chemicals and fertilizers, agrochemicals, metallurgy and mining, cosmetics, foods, medical and pharmaceuticals, beverages, environmental management, and petroleum and petrochemical applications in emulsifying and demulsifying wetting agents, detergent spreading and foaming agents, and functional food ingredients. Biosurfactants are synthesized by microbes; therefore, various genetic diversities of microorganisms provide the considerable capability to produce new types of biosurfactants, which can develop EOR technology. Biosurfactants are classified into ex situ and in situ MEOR processes. The genera Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Sphingomonas, and Actinobacteria are the foremost biosurfactant-producing bacteria. This paper reviews relevant reports and results from various presented papers by researchers and companies on applications of microorganisms and biosurfactant technology with specific emphasis on EOR and MEOR processes, based on recently published articles since 2010 until now.
