This review aims to provide an overview of the sources and reactions of persistent organic
pollutants (POPs) and surfactants in soil and sediments, the surfactant-enhanced …

Sophorolipids are surface-active glycolipids produced by several non-pathogenic yeast
species and are widely used as biosurfactants in several industrial applications …

Agricultural productivity to meet growing demands of human population is a matter of great
concern for all countries. Use of green compounds to achieve the sustainable agriculture is …

Biosurfactants are surfactants that are produced extracellularly or as part of the cell
membrane by bacteria, yeasts and fungi. Examples include Pseudomonas aeruginosa …

Surfactants are amphiphilic compounds which can reduce surface and interfacial tensions
by accumulating at the interface of immiscible fluids and increase the solubility, mobility …

The environment pollution with hydrophobic hydrocarbons is a serious problem that requires
development of efficient strategies that would lead to bioremediation of contaminated areas …

The aim of this work was to evaluate the biosurfactants produced by the yeast Pseudozyma
sp. NII 08165 for enhancing the degradation of crude oil by a model hydrocarbon degrading …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contamination of the environment represents a
serious threat to the health of humans and ecosystems. Given the human health effects of …

Low-and high-molecular-weight biosurfactants are of great interest because of their
physicochemical and biological properties, which can be exploited in oil, food, cosmetic and …

The degree of association of organic and inorganic pollutants is governed by the complex
physico-chemical interactions at interfaces. This association involves sorption onto soil …
