Microorganisms synthesise a wide range of surface-active compounds (SAC), generally
called biosurfactants. These compounds are mainly classified according to their molecular …

Cosmetic products play an essential role in everyone's life. People everyday use a large
variety of cosmetic products such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, skin care …

Meat and some meat products are highly perishable due to their high-water content, pH, and
high content of nutrients. Therefore, spoilage control in these products is one of the critical …

Background Biosurfactants (BS) are amphiphilic compounds produced by microbes, either
on the cell surface or secreted extracellularly. BS exhibit strong antimicrobial and anti …

Biosurfactants from the yeast strains Candida albicans SC5314 and Candida glabrata
CBS138 were isolated and characterized. Surface tension of the cell-free broth was reduced …

Biosurfactants are amphiphilic molecules that have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic
moieties which partition preferentially at the interfaces such as liquid/liquid, gas/liquid or …

We evaluated the inhibitory effects of the probiotic Lactobacillus species on different phases
of Candida albicans biofilm development. Quantification of biofilm growth and ultrastructural …

Background Lactobacillus species produce biosurfactants that can contribute to the
bacteria's ability to prevent microbial infections associated with urogenital and …

In this study, the crude biosurfactant produced by a Lactobacillus paracasei strain isolated in
a Portuguese dairy industry was characterized. The minimum surface tension (41.8 mN/m) …

Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the antimicrobial and antiadhesive properties
of a biosurfactant isolated from Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei A20 against several …
