Microbial Conversion of Waste Glycerol from Biodiesel Production into Value-Added Products (2013, background): “Compared to other surfactants, biosurfactants contain advantages such as low toxicity and biodegradability, making them environmentally friendly for remediation processes in both liquid and on solid surfaces [116,117].”
A Review on the Biosurfactants: Properties, Types and its Applications (2018, background): “Despite the fact that the sort and amount of the microbial surfactants created depends chiefly on the maker living being, factors like nitrogen and carbon, temperature, air circulation and follow components likewise influence their production by the life form [3].”
A Review on Biosurfactants: Fermentation, Current Developments and Perspectives (2011, background): “Viscosin Pseudomonas fluorescens, Leuconostoc mesenteriods Surface active lipopeptides [8]”
Evaluation of Screening Methods for the Isolation of Biosurfactant Producing Marine Bacteria (2013, background): “There are many types of biosurfactants based on their chemical nature such as glycolipids, lipopolysaccharides, oligosaccharides and lipopeptides that have been reported to be produced by diverse bacterial genera [2-4].”
Isolation and study of microorganisms from oil samples for application in Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (2012, methodology): “Biosurfactant MEOR represents one of the most promising methods to recover a substantial proportion of the residual oil from mature oil ﬁ elds (Banat et al., 2010; Simpson et al., 2011).”
Environmental Applications of Biosurfactants: Recent Advances (2011, background): “Soil washing technology is characterized by chemico-physical properties of the biosurfactant and not by their effect on metabolic activities or changes in cell-surface properties of bacteria [55].”
Optimization and characterization of biosurfactant production by Bacillus subtilis isolates towards microbial enhanced oil recovery applications (2013, background): “Among several potential applications of surfactin, its use in MEOR represents one of the most promising methods to recover substantial amounts of the residual oil entrapped in mature oil fields [23,24].”
Biosurfactant-enhanced hydrocarbon bioremediation: An overview (2014, methodology): “Biosurfactants have countless advantages in comparison with chemical surfactants, especially regarding biodegradability, compatibility with the environment, low toxicity, high selectivity and their activity even in extreme temperature, pH and salinity conditions (Banat et al., 2010).”
