Petroleum hydrocarbon pollutants are recalcitrant compounds and are classified as priority
pollutants. Cleaning up of these pollutants from environment is a real world problem …

The difficulties associated with transportation and refining of crude oil emulsions and
produced water discharge limitations are among the conspicuous clues that have led the …

Surfactants are one of the most versatile group of chemicals used in various industrial
processes. Their market is competitive, and manufacturers will have to expand surfactant …

The aim of this work was to study the potential of an indigenous strain of Pseudomonas
aeruginosa NCIM 5514, isolated from petroleum-polluted soil, for the biodegradation of …

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 …

Biosurfactants are surface-active biomolecules produced by microbes (bacteria, fungi, and
yeast) and have several advantages over the chemical surfactants, such as lower toxicity …

Microbial surfactants are amphipathic molecules that consist of hydrophilic and hydrophobic
domains, which allow partition of two fluid phases of varying degree of polarity. They are …

Marine biosphere offers wealthy flora and fauna, which represents a vast natural resource of
imperative functional commercial grade products. Among the various bioactive compounds …

The fermentative production of biosurfactants by Bacillus subtilis strain B30 and the
evaluation of biosurfactant based enhanced oil recovery using core-flood were investigated …
