Natural product based antifouling strategies are promising alternatives for achieving
biofouling control with minimal environmental burden. Although microbial biosurfactants …

The marine bacterium Alcanivorax borkumensis produces a surface-active glycine-
glucolipid during growth with long-chain alkanes. A high-performance liquid …

Contamination of marine sediments by organic and/or inorganic compounds represents one
of the most critical problems in marine environments. This issue affects not only biodiversity …

Interactions between bacteria and fungi are widespread in nature. New work shows that
bacteria not known to have an endofungal lifestyle can take advantage of environmentally …

Organic waste streams are produced in huge quantities globally and their suitable
management is urgently needed. These streams can be used as feedstocks for various …

Wide ranges of microorganisms produce glycosylated lipids (GL), which are characterized
by their tensio-active properties. Therefore, they can be used in different industrial …

Biosurfactants generated from lactic acid bacteria (LAB) offer an advantage over standard
microbial surfactants due to their antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral capabilities. Many …

Glycine-glucolipid, a glycolipid, is natively synthesized by the marine bacterium Alcanivorax
borkumensis SK2. A. borkumensis is a Gram-negative, non-motile, aerobic, halophilic, rod …

With the frequent occurrence of oil spills, the bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons
pollution has attracted more and more attention. In this study, we investigated the …

To date, the relative contribution of primary marine organic matter to the subset of
atmospheric particles that nucleate cloud droplets is highly uncertain. Here, cloud …
