Surface-Active Compounds Produced by Microorganisms: Promising Molecules for the Development of Antimicrobial, Anti-Inflammatory, and Healing Agents [PDF]
Surface-active compounds (SACs), biomolecules produced by bacteria, yeasts, and filamentous fungi, have interesting properties, such as the ability to interact with surfaces as well as hydrophobic or hydrophilic interfaces.

Enrichment of Surface-Active Compounds in Bursting Bubble Aerosols [PDF]
The pronounced enrichment of surface-active compounds in the aerosols produced by bubble bursting plays a central role in the chemical transfer from the ocean into the atmosphere and has an important impact on the global Earth's climate. However, the mechanism of chemical enrichment in bursting bubble aerosols remains poorly understood and ...

Ionic Surface Active Compounds in Atmospheric Aerosols [PDF]
Surfactants in the atmosphere have several potential roles in atmospheric chemistry. They can form films on aqueous surfaces, which lowers the surface tension and possibly delays water evaporation and gaseous transportation across the aqueous interface ...
