CMD values of foamate produced from palm oil and crude palm oil added culture media were 28 and 23 times dilutions with th elowest surface tension of 26 mN/m (Fig. 8a and b). These CMD values of foamate were about 3 times greater than culture medium from Bacillus mojavensis PTCC 1696 [37] and B. subtilis B30 [38],which indicated the higher concentrations of lipopeptides in the foamate. Oil displacement test was used as a surface activity indicator.
