Background The complexity, toxicity and abundance of frying oil waste (FOW) render it
difficult to be degraded biologically. The aim of the present work was to valorize FOW and …

Despite hydrolytic exoenzymes and biosurfactants having been gradually reported from the
poriferan microbiome, little is known about these bioproducts in microorganisms inhabiting …

The unique properties of biosurfactants obtained from microbes, including their activity at
extreme temperatures, make them more attractive than synthetic alternatives. Henceforth …

Agricultural pesticides, petroleum hydrocarbons, and heavy metals (HMs) have drastically
degraded the quality of soils, thereby presenting serious danger to health and environment …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are hydrophobic, toxic, and carcinogenic
compounds which comprise of high molecular weight (HMW) and low molecular weight …

Biosurfactants are amphiphilic compounds that show surface-active properties as they
constituted hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails. Biosurfactants are generally produced …

In this study, we sought to investigate the production and optimization of biosurfactants by
soil fungi isolated from petroleum oil-contaminated soil in Saudi Arabia. Forty-four fungal …

Surfactants are petroleum-derived compounds widely used globally in industrial areas such
as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, textile, among others. The synthesis and use of these …

In the present study, the nematicidal and acaricidal activity of three biosurfactants (BS)
produced by strains of the Bacillus genus was evaluated. The BS produced by the Bacillus …

The genus Fictibacillus contains twelve species significant in the synthesis of cellulose-
degrading enzymes and phenylalanine dehydrogenase, isolated mainly from marine …
