Multi-scale biosurfactant production and biosurfactant=aided soil washing

, 2022
Biosurfactants are widely used in oil and environmental industries due to their unique properties. The thesis first focused on examining tuna fish waste as low-cost substrates for microbial growth through an enzyme hydrolyzation process to produce the biosurfactant, surfactin.

Characterization and properties of the biosurfactant produced by Candida lipolytica UCP 0988 [PDF]

Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2014
Background: Biotechnological processes are costly, especially for the production of biosurfactants. The successful production of a biosurfactant is dependent on the development of processes using low cost raw materials.

Production and Structural Characterization of Lactobacillus helveticus Derived Biosurfactant [PDF]

The Scientific World Journal, 2014
A probiotic strain of lactobacilli was isolated from traditional soft Churpi cheese of Yak milk and found positive for biosurfactant production. Lactobacilli reduced the surface tension of phosphate buffer saline (PBS) from 72.0 to 39.5 mNm−1 pH 7.2 and ...

Production of Biosurfactants by Ascomycetes [PDF]

International Journal of Microbiology, 2021
Surfactants are utilized to reduce surface tension in aqueous and nonaqueous systems. Currently, most synthetic surfactants are derived from petroleum. However, these surfactants are usually highly toxic and are poorly degraded by microorganisms. To overcome these problems associated with synthetic surfactants, the production of microbial surfactants ...

Foam mitigation and exploitation in biosurfactant production

Biotechnology Letters, 2011
Biosurfactants could potentially outperform traditional surfactants in many applications whilst being more sustainable to source, manufacture, use and dispose of. However, currently available fermentation production methods are too inefficient to manufacture biosurfactants for these high volume markets.

Biosurfactant production by a Bacillus megaterium strain. [PDF]

Open Life Sci, 2020
AbstractThe aim of the present study was to investigate the ability of Bacillus megaterium IBBPo17 (GenBank KX499518) cells to produce biosurfactant when the growth was done in the presence of long-chain n-alkane n-hexadecane on medium supplemented with yeast extract, proteose peptone, starch, or cellulose.

Optimization of Biosurfactant Production using Chrysene Degrading Bacteria Isolated from Marine Water [PDF]

, 2022
Biosurfactants were found to be a suitable candidate for environment clean-up and as an alternative to conventional treatment systems. In the present study, a polyaromatic hydrocarbon degrading organism Bacillus halotolerans was screened for its ability ...
