Biosurfactant production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from mining waste: From genomic analysis to development of a polymeric composite for removal of hexavalent chromium

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
Biosurfactant was produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa using andiroba waste from Amazonia. A biosurfactant–alginate composite (Alg/BioS) was successfully synthesized via ionotropic gelation, and achieved up to 70% Cr6+ removal from water. Abstract Environmental contamination by heavy metals represents a significant challenge due to their persistence in ...

Microbial Community Dynamics in Marine Water: Influence of Hydrocarbon Type and Exposure Time

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marine environments are frequently impacted by petroleum‐derived hydrocarbons, which pose ecological risks because of their toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic potential. Microorganisms play a crucial role in hydrocarbon degradation, and understanding the influence of time and hydrocarbon type on microbial dynamics helps improve bioremediation ...

Bioconversion of Palm Oil into Biosurfactant by Halomonas meridiana BK-AB4 for the Application of Corrosion Inhibitor

open access: yesIndonesian Journal of Chemistry, 2018
Biosurfactant is environmentally friendly surfactant produced by a certain microorganism in a lipid-rich medium. A previous study has shown that Halomonas meridiana BK-AB4 had the potential of a moderately halophilic bacterium in converting olive oil ...

Photocatalytic and Biotechnological Strategies for Remediation of Persistent Organic Pollutants: Mechanisms, Toxicity, and Antimicrobial Perspectives

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) pose significant ecological and human health risks due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, toxicity, and global distribution. Conventional remediation methods are often inadequate for achieving complete mineralization, demonstrating the need for advanced and substantial approaches.

Compatibility of personal care thickening polymers in sulphate‐free surfactants

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Phase behaviour for alpha olefin sulfonate surfactant 10–15 wt% combined with 1 wt% sodium carboxy methyl cellulose, clearly indicating the sensitivity in miscibility when adding various levels of background salt. Abstract Objective Formulators today know that when traditional surfactants and polymers are replaced new problems occur. What was before a ‘

The Study of Biosurfactant Stability and The Effect on Lipase Activity

open access: yesBiology, Medicine & Natural Product Chemistry
Lipase is one of hydrolase enzyme that catalyzed hydrolysis reaction of triacylglycerols into free fatty acids and monoglycerides or glycerol. These biocatalysts are widely used in several industries, namely food and pharmaceutical industry. The activity

Directed Evolution of Plant‐Associated Bacteria Enhances Plant Holobiont Stress Tolerance

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant stress responses are shaped by both the plant genome and its associated microbial communities, which together form the plant holobiont. Given the rapid adaptive potential of plant‐associated microbes, we hypothesised that directed evolution under selective pressure can accelerate the development of holobiont‐level stress tolerance ...

Microbial Strategies for the Degradation of Spent Lubricating Oil: A Comparative Study of Isolate Bacterium and Consortium Cultures

open access: yesWater and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
This show the biodegradation of spent lubricating oil by Bacillus sp. and a marine bacterial consortium. The consortium showed higher growth, biosurfactant production and oil removal efficiency than the isolated strain, highlighting its potential for bioremediation ABSTRACT Spent automotive lubricating oil contains complex hydrocarbons and heavy metals,
