Microorganisms capable of synthesizing biosurfactants on non-hydrocabon substrates were screened by their hemolytic activity on blood agar plates. Hemolytic zones around colonies could be related to the ability of the microbes to produce surfactants. The degree of clearing caused by surfactin, a biosurfactant from Bacillus subtilis, was proportional to the concentration applied. Microorganisms capable of producing biosurfactants on hydrocarbon-containing media only did not demonstrate lytic activity. The technique of using blood agar plates to screen for biosurfactant production on soluble substrates is shown to be quick and reliable.
