Actinobacteria exhibit cosmopolitan distribution since their members are widely distributed
in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. In the environment they play relevant ecological roles …

Sophorolipids (SLPs) are the most promising glycolipid biosurfactants produced in large
quantity by several nonpathogenic yeast species, among these Candida bombicola ATCC …

Background The use of agro-industrial wastes to produce high value-added biomolecules
such as biosurfactants is a promising approach for lowering the total costs of production …

Background: Biosurfactants constitute a structurally diverse group of surface-active
compounds derived from microorganisms. They are widely used industrially in various …

Human activities and industrial processes have led to worldwide heavy metal pollution.
Several strategies have been developped for metal remediation. The conventional …

The present study was primarily emphasized on isolation of yeast from diverse samples and
screening for potential biosurfactant producer. Yeast isolates AH16, AH23, AH46 and AH62 …

The need for cost effective and ecofriendly means of producing compounds of
environmental, industrial, and other biotechnological applications cannot be …

Purpose: Biosurfactants are applied in drug formulations to improve drug solubility and in
some cases, treat diseases. This study is focused on generating, extracting, purifying and …

The present work reports the production of bioemulsifiers (BEs) by an environmental
bacterium closely related to Bacillus spp., using agro-industrial wastes and by-products as …

Rhamnolipid is a new age biosurfactant, commonly produced biotechnologically with
