Although biosurfactant production occurred both under shaking and static conditions, significant biopolymer production occurred only in static cultures. Using the culture medium CSL–G–Glut(10), 910 ± 20 mg surfactin/L and 9.8 ± 0.2 g γ–PGA/L were produced.

Surfactin reduced the surface tension up to 29 mN/m, with a critical micelle concentration of 52 mg/L, and exhibited a significant emulsifying activity. <em>B. velezensis</em> P#02 γ–PGA, which molecular weight was around 229 kDa, displayed a non–Newtonian shear–thinning profile, achieving apparent viscosity values around 3800 mPa s in aqueous solution, with a predominant viscous behavior.
