The growth of Candida maltosa on hydrocarbons (dodecane and hexadecane) was
influenced by adding various natural and synthetic surfactants. Microbial adhesion to the …

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 …

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 …

A method for the measurement of the affinity of the cell surface to hydrocarbons is described.
The affinity was basically unaffected by different pH values and temperature as well as by …

This study concerns the relation between hydrocarbon biodegradation in the presence of
natural surfactants and cell hydrophobicity resulting from the use of these surfactants. The …

In our previous study, l it was demonstrated by experiments that Candida tropicalis took up
hydrocarbons existing in the aqueous phase rather than liquid hydrocarbons. However, the …

The present interest in hydrocarbon biodegradation is motivated in large part by their
presence as environmental pollutants. The biodegradation of hydrocarbons has a high …

The effect of exogenously added sodium dodecylbenzenesulphonate (SDBS) surfactant on
biodegradation of a mixture of straight-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons (dodecane and …

Candida lipolytica is shown to produce an extracellular polymer with emulsifying properties
when grown on n-tetradecane or a mixture of linear hydrocarbons. A device for biosurfactant …

Biodegradation and hydrophobicity of Pseudomonas spp. and Bacillus spp. strains were
tested at different concentrations of the biosurfactant Quillaya saponin. A model mixture of …
