Summary SCP producingCandida tropicalis, when grown in fed batch culture using n-hexadecane as carbon substrate, exhibited extracellular emulsifier production. The emulsifier showed activity against various hydrocarbons, maximum with aromatics and least with normal paraffins. Higher emulsification activity was noted in nitrogen-limiting growth conditions than in substrate- limiting conditions. The hot water extract of the cells also showed significant emulsification activity.
