In this study, two biosurfactant producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa sp. were isolated from motor oil contaminated soil for crude oil, alkane and PAH degradation studies. Metagenomics analysis identified as proteobacteria phyla was the dominant. Isolated two bacterial species were well grown in mineral salt medium with 1% of crude oil, alkanes (dotriacontane and tetratetracontane) and PAH (pyrene, benzopyrene and anthracene) as sole carbon sources. Total biodegradation efficiency (BE) of strains PP3 and PP4 in Crude oil degradation evaluated by the analysis of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry was 50% and 86% respectively. BE of PP3, PP4 and mixed consortium in alkane biodegradation were 46%, 47% and 36%, respectively. BE of PP3, PP4 and mixed consortium in PAH biodegradation were 22%, 48% and 35%, respectively. Based on the results revealed that strain pp4 was more efficient bacteria to degrade the crude oil, alkane and PAH than pp3. This was due to the higher production of biosurfactant by PP4 than PP3 and also confirmed in the test of emulsification index (E₂₄). FTIR results showed that the produced biosurfactant could partially solubilize the crude oil hydrocarbons, alkanes and PAH and confirmed as glycolipid (rhamnolipid) in nature. Thus, the obtained results from the GCMS showed that all hydrocarbons were utilized by bacteria as carbon source for biosurfactant production and utilize the high molecular weight hydrocarbons. Based on the present study we can suggest that identified potential biosurfactant producing bacteria are used for biodegradation of high molecular weight hydrocarbon (>C40).
