Production of rhamnolipid biosurfactants
1995Biosurfactants are of increasing interest due to their broad range of potential applications. A large variety of microbial surfactants is known at present, some of which may be used for specific applications. Towards the large scale industrial production of biosurfactants, the physiology, biochemistry and genetics of biosurfactant synthesis has to be ...

Ecological Engineering, 2017 Abstract Petroleum hydrocarbons’ insolubility (due to hydrophobic nature) remains an important factor in microbial degradation of these compounds. The use of microbial biosurfactants significantly decreases the hydrophobicity and increases the rate of hydrocarbon biodegradation.

Microbial production of biosurfactants
Resources, Conservation and Recycling, 1996Biosurfactants are those chemicals which are produced by microorganisms but which have both clearly defined hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups. They occur in nature in bacteria, yeasts, and fungi, and in particular in bacteria which grow on a water-immiscible substrate, using it as a food source.

Utilization of sludge palm oil as a novel substrate for biosurfactant production
Bioresource Technology, 2010 This paper introduces sludge palm oil (SPO) as a novel substrate for biosurfactant production by liquid state fermentation. Potential strains of microorganism were isolated from various hydrocarbon-based sources at palm oil mill and screened for ...

Production of glycolipid biosurfactants by basidiomycetous yeasts
Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, 2009BSs (biosurfactants) produced by various micro‐organisms show unique properties (e.g. mild production conditions, lower toxicity, higher biodegradability and environmental compatibility) compared with chemically synthesized surfactants. The numerous advantages of BSs have prompted applications not only in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical ...

Biosurfactant production by thermophilic dairy streptococci
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 1994Biosurfactant production of eight Streptococcus thermophilus strains, isolated from heat exchanger plates in the downstream side of the regenerator section of pasteurizers in the dairy industry has been measured using axisymmetric drop shape analysis by profile (ADSA-P).

The use of agroindustrial by‐products for biosurfactant production
Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, 1994AbstractTraditionally, hydrocarbons have been used for biosurfactant production. However, urban waste, peat pressate and agroindustrial by‐products, such as olive oil mill effluent and acid whey, are possible substitutes for microbial growth and biosurfactant production.

Substrates and Production of Biosurfactants
2016Inexpensive industrial scale production for biosurfactants remains a problematic issue. Development in production measures has facilitated to some magnitude and can lead to additional advances. The utilization of the unconventional substrates like agro-industrial liquid and solid wastes is the efficient approaches for cost-effective biosurfactants ...

Production and Biomedical Applications of Probiotic Biosurfactants
Current Microbiology, 2016Biosurfactants have been widely used for environmental and industrial applications. However, their use in medical field is still limited. Probiotic biosurfactants possess an immense antimicrobial, anti-adhesive, antitumor, and antibiofilm potential. Moreover, they have an additional advantage over conventional microbial surfactants because probiotics ...

Biosurfactant production by Bacillus coagulans
Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, 2003AbstractA new biosurfactant producer, Bacillus coagulans, was isolated from soil. Its 24‐h‐old culture broth had a low surface tension (27–29 mN/m). Optimization of cell growth of this bacterium led to maximal biosurfactant production with glucose or starch as the organic carbon source, a pH in the range 4.0–7.5, and incubation temperatures from 20 to ...
