Production and applications of trehalose lipid biosurfactants (2010, background): “The best strategy in this case would be the identification and the selective stimulation of autochthonous biosurfactant-producing bacteria [63].”
Microbial degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons. (2017, positive): “Among all such products biosurfactant is very well studied as it plays critical role to enhance hydrocarbon pollutants bioavailability (Mulligan 2005; Saeki et al., 2009; Varjani and Upasani, 2016c).”
Soil washing for metal removal: a review of physical/chemical technologies and field applications. (2008, neutral): “However, the metal extraction by biosurfactants has not yet been performed for large-scale remediation projects [84].”
Evaluation of Screening Methods for the Isolation of Biosurfactant Producing Marine Bacteria (2013, background): “Biosurfactants influence these processes because of their efficacy as dispersion and remediation agents and their environmentally friendly characteristics such as low toxicity and high biodegradability [5-9].”
Rhamnolipids as biosurfactants from renewable resources: Concepts for next-generation rhamnolipid production (2012, background): “case, biosurfactants display several advantages compared to synthetic surfactants, since biosurfactants can perform much better under atypical temperatures, pH and salinity [49–51].”
Biosurfactants: A General Overview (2011, background): “The biosurfactants that have been studied in most detail include the rhamnolipids produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Soberon-Chavez et al. 2005) and different Burkholderia species (Dubeau et al. 2009), and surfactin, a lipopeptide that is synthesized by Bacillus subtilis ( Mulligan 2005 ).”
Biological Removal and Recovery of Toxic Heavy Metals in Water Environment (2012, methodology): “Washing and extraction of heavy metals in the sediments using biosurfactants might be also applicable (Mulligan, 2005).”
