Heterologous Rhamnolipid Biosynthesis: Advantages, Challenges, and the Opportunity to Produce Tailor-Made Rhamnolipids [PDF]
The first heterologous expression of genes responsible for the production of rhamnolipids was already implemented in the mid-1990s during the functional identification of the rhlAB operon. This was the starting shot for multiple approaches to establish the rhamnolipid biosynthesis in different host organisms.

Production and evaluation of mono- and di-rhamnolipids produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa VM011
Rhamnolipids are amphiphilic compounds secreted by bacteria and possess the emulsification ability. Emulsification ability makes microbial surfactants an excellent candidate for assisting in the breakdown and removal of oil spills. Rhamnolipids have been

Surface hardness impairment of quorum sensing and swarming for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [PDF]
The importance of rhamnolipid to swarming of the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa is well established. It is frequently, but not exclusively, observed that P. aeruginosa swarms in tendril patterns--formation of these tendrils requires rhamnolipid.

Improved removal of Trinitrotoluene (TNT) from contaminated soil by inducing aerobic process: kinetic and chemical byproducts [PDF]
This study describes the biological degradation of TNT by using induced aeration. Three plastic reactors were used. In each reactor 3 kg of soil were used. In order to increase the porosity of the soil, sawdust was added to soil.

Production of Rhamnolipid using Moderate Halophilic Pseudomonas aeruginosa SH-6 isolated from a Saline Lake [PDF]
Biosurfactants are tensio-active, amphipathic biomolecules, which can reduce the surface tension of liquids. Synthetic surfactants are predominantly toxic, resistant to degradation, and exhibit narrow range of activity, whereas surface-active ...

Experiment on effect of different surfactants on formation of gas hydrate
The acceleration of surfactant to the rapid formation of gas hydrate is a hot topic of research. For the effect of the surfactant concentration on formation of gas hydrate is not clear at present, experiments for effect of various surfactants on ...
