Isolation of biosurfactant-producing marine bacteria [PDF]
Biosurfactant-producing marine bacteria were isolated from oil-spilled seawater collected from harbors and docks in Mumbai, India. Haemolytic activity, emulsification activity toward n-hexadecane, emulsion of mixtures of oils, drop collapsing test as ...

Biosurfactants for cosmetic applications [PDF]
SynopsisBiosurfactants are biologically‐produced, natural surface active agents and are synthesized by a range of microorganisms. These compounds include glycolipids, lipopeptides and phospholipids. The yields of biosurfactants in microbial fermentations may be as high as 150g l−1 and may be increased by optimizing production conditions and by strain ...

Microbial biosurfactant production: The effect of the Bacillus strain JF-2 biosurfactant on anaerobic hydrocarbon degradation, and the presence of indigenous biosurfactant-producing bacteria in soils. [PDF]
A series of experiments was designed utilizing the biosurfactant produced by Bacillus JF2. Specifically, these experiments were designed to determine if the presence of various levels of pre-purified JF2 biosurfactant would affect the degradation of a ...

Enhancement of recovery of residual oil using a biosurfactant slug [PDF]
A laboratory investigation of the mobilization and displacement of residual oil in a sand-pack using biosurfactant slug was conducted. The biosurfactant employed was extracted from a culture of Pseudomonas sp.

Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of biosurfactant-producing bacteria isolated from palm oil contaminated soils [PDF]
Biosurfactant-producing bacteria were isolated from 89 different soil samples contaminated with palm oil in 35 palm oil industry sites in the south of Thailand. The phylogenetic diversity of the isolates was evaluated by 16S rRNA gene analysis. Among 1,
