Surfactants are a group of amphiphilic chemical compounds (ie, having both hydrophobic
and hydrophilic domains) that form an indispensable component in almost every sector of …

Glycolipids, consisting of a carbohydrate moiety linked to fatty acids, are microbial surface
active compounds produced by various microorganisms. They are characterized by high …

Production and spillage of petroleum hydrocarbons which is the most versatile energy
resource causes disastrous environmental pollution. Elevated oil degrading performance …

In this work, the biodegradation of the crude oil by the potential biosurfactant producing
Bacillus subtilis A1 was investigated. The isolate had the ability to synthesize degradative …

The potential for biological treatment of an environment contaminated by complex
petrochemical contaminants was evaluated using creosote contaminated soil in ex situ bio …

The strains isolated from the formation water were characterized and screened considering
their crude oil degradation capability and biosurfactant production ability. The growth …

The depletion of oil resources, increasing global energy demand, the current low, yet
unpredictable, price of oil, and increasing maturity of major oil fields has driven the need for …

Petroleum compounds are recalcitrant to microbial degradation and persist in ecosystems
because of their high hydrophobicity. Lipopeptide biosurfactant was produced by …

Detergent products are a formulated mixture of ingredients with a washing or cleaning
power. The most active compounds involved in the cleaning process are the so-called …

In this study, sugarcane molasses was explored as a sole source of nutrients for the
production of a value added product (biosurfactant) using an isolated strain Bacillus subtilis …
