Biosurfactant quality generated from fungi using agro-wastes (maize husk, rice husk, and augarcane bagasse)

The Proceedings of the Nigerian Academy of Science, 2020
Biosurfactants are amphiphilic compound that contain hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties produced extracellularly by microorganism on cell surface or excreted extracellularly thereby reducing surface and interfacial tension between molecules at the ...

The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

iMeta, EarlyView.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial

A Green Amphoteric Surfactant Derived From Rapeseed Oil for Enhanced Oil Recovery From Carbonate Acidic Oil Reservoirs

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.
The Green Amphoteric Surfactant Derived From Rapeseed Oil for Enhanced Oil Recovery From Carbonate Acidic Oil Reservoirs. ABSTRACT Surfactants with both positive and negative functional groups (amphoteric or zwitterionic) are particularly advantageous in acidic oil reservoirs because they remain stable under harsh chemical conditions, tolerate acidic ...

Surfactant Enhanced Bioremediation of Saline Diesel Contaminated Water by a Novel Bacterial Halophilic Consortium

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of microorganisms is an evolving method for the degradation of hydrocarbon contaminants. In this aim, halophilic hydrocarbon degrading bacteria were isolated from oil contaminated soil in Tunisia. A lipopeptide biosurfactant produced by Bacillus subtilis SPB1 was tested to increase diesel biodegradation along with co‐inoculation with ...

Micellar and Solubilization Properties of Biological Surfactant Surfactin

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We studied aqueous solutions of surfactin in the concentration range of 0.001–200 g/L using NMR diffusometry, tensometry and optical microscopy methods. According to tensometry data, the system forms monolayers of surfactant molecules at the water‐air phase boundary at C = 0.02 g/L.

Enhanced Oil Removal by a Non-Toxic Biosurfactant Formulation

Energies, 2021
In this study, a new formulation of low-cost, biodegradable, and non-toxic biosurfactant by Candida sphaerica UCP 0995 was investigated. The study was conducted in a bioreactor on an industrial waste-based medium, and a central composite rotatable design
