• Production and characterization of a glycolipid biosurfactant from Bacillus megaterium using economically cheaper sources (2008, positive): “However, in some cases hemolytic assay excluded many good biosurfactant producers (Youssef et al. 2004); hence in the present investigation the BATH assay and drop collapse test with crude oil were also done to confirm biosurfactant production.”
• BIOSURFACTANT PRODUCTION AND DIESEL OIL DEGRADATION BY YEAST SPECIES TRICHOSPORON ASAHII ISOLATED FROM PETROLEUM HYDROCARBON CONTAMINATED SOIL (2010, background): “The drop collapse test and oil displacement tests are indicative of the surface and wetting activities (Youssef et al., 2004).”
• Isolation of biosurfactant-producing marine bacteria and characteristics of selected biosurfactant (2007, background): “Those cultures that gave rounded drops were scored as negative '-', indicative of the lack of biosurfactant production (Youssef et al., 2004).”
• Isolation and characterization of glycolipid biosurfactant produced by a Pseudomonas otitidis strain isolated from Chirimiri coal mines, India (2016, background): “Several other authors (Ferhat et al. 2011; Abouseoud et al. 2008; Youssef et al. 2004) have advocated the use of these screening techniques for the identification of microorganisms with potential to produce BSs.”
• Evaluation of Screening Methods for the Isolation of Biosurfactant Producing Marine Bacteria (2013, methodology): “None of the studies reported in the literature [21-23,36-38] mention the possibility of biosurfactant production without a hemolytic activity.”
• Biosurfactant production and hydrocarbon-degradation by halotolerant and thermotolerant Pseudomonas sp. (2008, methodology): “These qualitative tests are indicative of the surface and wetting activities ( Youssef et al. 2004 ).”
