In practical bioremediation of petroleum pollution, treatment systems often use soil, sand,
and other aquifer porous media besides water solutions. The distribution of the microbial cell …

The yeast strain Candida maltosa EH 15 was used as a biological agent in the hydrocarbon
and emulsified hydrocarbon biodegradation. Six different surface active compounds were …

Biosurfactant production and activity were evaluated for yeast strains Rhodotorula glutinis
RG1, RG2, RG4 and RG5, Issatchenkia orientalis IO3 and Candida rugosa CR6 isolated …

Many biosurfactants have been produced, although few are produced due to the high costs
of production and purification processes. Given the potential for biotechnological application …

Recent decades have witnessed a considerable interest in research on biogenic surfactants
(microbial surfactants, biosurfactants), products of biosynthesis of various microorganisms …

Medium constituents other than carbon sources affect the production of biosurfactants. In this
work we describe a low cost medium for the production of a surfactant by the yeast Candida …
