Abstract: 52 biosurfactant-producing microorganisms were isolated with the methods of enrichment culture and plate cultivation from oil sludge of Daqing Oil Field.Experiments of oil displacement activity and surface tension showed that the three strains (including B22,B24 and B25) had high surface activity and low surface tension.The analysis of physico-chemical properties indicated that the biosurfactant produced by B22 could bear high temperature up to 120 ℃,while the other two could bear 80 ℃.The three biosurfactants had a wide adaptability to pH.B22 had a wide adaptable pH range of 4.0~13.0,while that of B24 and B25 was 2.0~13.0.NaCl concentration had no obvious effect on the biological activity of the biosurfactants.Employing the 3 strains biosurfactants to treat oil sludge,more than 70% of the oil was removed after 72 h.
