3.7 Thin Layer Chromatography
The Rf value of biosurfactant obtained from Serratia marcescens as shown in Fig. 6
established to be 0.76 and 0.96 which was similar to the results reported with a
red pigment isolated from Serratia marcescens (Vora et al. 2014). The quantitative
analysis of the biosurfactant from Serratia marcescens is yet to be done.
