Optimization Strategy of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Contaminated Media Bioremediation through Biosurfactant Addition

open access: yesChemical Engineering Transactions, 2014
A microbial surfactant was investigated for its potential to enhance bioavailability and, hence, the biodegradation of PAHs contaminated soil. Phenanthrene, a 3-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), was chosen as a model target compound.

Improved remediation of co-contaminated soils by heavy metals and PAHs with biosurfactant-enhanced soil washing

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Due to the huge toxicity of co-contaminated soil with PAHs and heavy metals and the complexity of their remediation, it is thus critical to take effective remediation actions to remove heavy metals and PAHs simultaneously from the co-contaminated soil ...

The Space Within: How Architected Voids Promote Tissue Formation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 7, 2 February 2026.
This review explores the role of void spaces in tissue engineering scaffolds and examines four key methods for introducing porosity into hydrogels at different scales. It discusses sacrificial templating, microgels, phase separation, and 3D printing, highlighting principles, advantages, and limitations. It also addresses emerging strategies integrating

Marine crude-oil biodegradation: a central role for interspecies interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Influence of Calcium Ions on Rhamnolipid and Rhamnolipid/Anionic Surfactant Adsorption and Self-Assembly

open access: yesLangmuir, 2013
The impact of Ca(2+) counterions on the adsorption at the air-water interface and self-assembly in aqueous solution of the rhamnolipid biosurfactant and its mixture with the anionic surfactant sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, LAS, has been studied using neutron reflectometry and small-angle neutron scattering. The results illustrate how rhamnolipids are

Advancements and Challenges in the Production of Biosurfactants: A Path Toward Sustainable Surfactant Alternatives

open access: yesChemBioEng Reviews, Volume 13, Issue 1, February 2026.
Microorganisms generate versatile biosurfactants with a wide range of uses. Although cost issues still exist, industrial interest is growing because to the advantages of sustainability, which are enhanced by genetic engineering; life cycle evaluation is crucial for scalable, environmentally responsible production.

Compost Tea as a Natural Bioactive Solution: Unlocking the Antimicrobial and Antiviral Potential of Bell Pepper and Citrus Wastes

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Compost teas derived from bell pepper and citrus waste are rich in bioactive phenolics and lignin derivatives, showing strong antibacterial activity against gram‐positive bacteria and potent antiviral effects against HSV‐1 and RSV. These findings highlight their potential as sustainable, circular bioresources for biomedical applications.
