Analysis of biosurfactants from industrially-viable Pseudomonas strain isolated from crude oil suggests how rhamnolipids congeners affect on emulsification property and antimicrobial activity

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Rhamnolipid biosurfactants produced mainly by Pseudomonas sp. had been reported to possess a wide range of potential industrial application. These biosurfactants are produced as monorhamnolipid (MRL) and di-rhamnolipid (DRL) congeners.

Degradation of Dispersants and Dispersed Oil [PDF]

, 2011
Chemical oil dispersants are proprietary mixtures of surfactants and solvents which are directly applied to a spill in order to reduce the natural attractive forces of the oil. When oil treated with dispersants is exposed to mixing energy, typically from

Sustainable Pretreatment of Food Waste for Enhanced Bioethanol Production and Improved Waste Management: A Review

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
The graphical abstract illustrates the conversion of food waste biomass into bioethanol through integrated pretreatment strategies. Physical (mechanical, thermal, sonication), chemical (alkali, acidic, oxidative/ROS), and biological (fungal, bacterial, enzymatic) pretreatments enhance biomass breakdown.

Development of a Tool for High‐Efficiency, Markerless and Iterative Genome Editing in Shouchella clausii

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
Shouchella clausii, a spore‐forming Gram‐positive bacterium with a long‐standing use as probiotic, has long been considered genetically intractable. This study introduces a high‐efficiency electroporation protocol and a versatile Golden Gate‐compatible shuttle vector (pM4B522), enabling precise, scarless and iterative genome editing in both S.

Exploring the Potential and Evaluating Hydrocarbon Degradation by Novel Antarctic Dietzia and Pusillimonas Isolates From a Pristine Environment

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
The Antarctic Dietzia and Pusillimonas isolates were tested for bioremediation applications. Genomic analyses revealed the potential to degrade complex organic compounds, potential virulence factors and resistance genes. Physiological assays showed a wide range of adaptation to abiotic factors and sensitivity to different groups of antibiotics ...
