• Rhamnolipids: Detection, Analysis, Biosynthesis, Genetic Regulation, and Bioengineering of Production (2011, methodology): “A similar approach is used in the oil spreading test, in which a drop of bacterial supernatant is added on top of an oil/ water interface (Morikawa et al. 2000).”
• Biodegradation of Polyethylene Using Bacillus Subtilis (2016, positive): “The presence of biosurfactant would displace the oil and a clear zone would form [8].”
• Evaluation of Screening Methods for the Isolation of Biosurfactant Producing Marine Bacteria (2013, background): “[30] reported that the area of oil displacement in oil spreading assay is directly proportional to the concentration of the biosurfactant in the solution.”
• Surfactin and Other Lipopeptides from Bacillus spp. (2011, background): “The use of chemically modified or biosynthetic variants has revealed prominent roles for some sub-structures (Morikawa et al. 2000).”
