Lipopeptides are microbial surface active compounds produced by a wide variety of
bacteria, fungi, and yeast. They are characterized by high structural diversity and have the …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are carcinogenic environmental pollutants that are
extremely hydrophobic in nature and resistant to biological degradation. Extraction of PAHs …

Microorganisms produce biosurfactant (BS)/bioemulsifier (BE) with wide structural and
functional diversity which consequently results in the adoption of different techniques to …

The increasing environmental concern about chemical surfactants triggers attention to
microbial-derived surface-active compounds essentially due to their low toxicity and …

Surfactants, both chemical and biological, are amphiphilic compounds which can reduce
surface and interfacial tensions by accumulating at the interface of immiscible fluids and …

Biosurfactants are surface-active compounds produced by a wide range of microorganisms.
They have both hydrophobic and hydrophilic domains and can decrease the surface tension …

Bacterial biofilms are interface-associated colonies of bacteria embedded in an extracellular
matrix that is composed primarily of polymers and proteins. They can be viewed in the …

An Aeromonas spp. was isolated from tropical estuarine water. The organism grew on crude
oil and produced biosurfactant that could emulsify hydrocarbons. The peak growth and …

Abstract This Microbiology Monographs volume covers the current and most recent
advances in the field of microbial surfactants. There is increasing interest in microbial …

An extensive investigation was conducted to isolate indigenous bacterial strains with
outstanding performance for biosurfactant production from different types of spoiled fruits …
