Marine crude-oil biodegradation: a central role for interspecies interactions [PDF]
, 2012 The marine environment is highly susceptible to pollution by petroleum, and so it is important to understand how microorganisms degrade hydrocarbons, and thereby mitigate ecosystem damage. Our understanding about the ecology, physiology, biochemistry and

Strategies for administration of biosurfactants-producing pseudomonads in closed hydroponic systems [PDF]
, 2011 Zoospore-producing oomycetes are major plant pathogens of particular concern in hydroponic systems. Compared with pesticides, biocontrol using antagonistic microorganisms is a sustainable approach to control oomycetes.

Biosurfactants: Potential Agents for Controlling Cellular Communication, Motility, and Antagonism
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021 Biosurfactants are surface-active molecules produced by microorganisms, either on the cell surface or secreted extracellularly. They form a thin film on the surface of microorganisms and help in their detachment or attachment to other cell surfaces. They

Biosurfactants: Current Application Trends [PDF]
Uchenye Zapiski Kazanskogo Universiteta. Seriya Estestvennye Nauki, 2021 This paper discusses the latest trends in studying and using biosurfactants, surfactant biomolecules produced by microorganisms. Biosurfactants were considered as an alternative to synthetic surfactants. The basic principles of producing, screening and characterizing biosurfactants were reviewed. Their physicochemical properties were singled out.

Yeast glycolipid biosurfactants [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2017 Various yeasts, both conventional and exotic ones, are known to produce compounds useful to mankind. Ethanol is the most known of these compounds, but more complex molecules such as amphiphilic biosurfactants can also be derived from eukaryotic microorganisms at an industrially and commercially relevant scale.
