Biofilm Effect and Growth of Waste Frying Oil (WFO) on Bacteria

Every year in the world, waste frying oils that are released into the environment without using a large amount or recycling can create a big environmental problem. Waste oils may be an alternative, especially for studies where biofilm formation is not desired or should be reduced. Production for biofilm from waste oil, which is used cheap source. In this study, only 10% of waste frying oil was added to the buffer environment; the effects of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on biofilm (also referred to as "biofilm formation index"), viable cell count and biomass formation were investigated under different aeration conditions. As a result, increases in biofilm formation up to 14-fold, increased number of viable cells and increased biomass formation were observed. This work we have done, it has been thought that waste frying oils can be used as the medium for fattening.
