With the present climate change and increasing world population, there is an urgent need to
discover creative, efficient, and cost-effective natural products for the benefit of humanity …

A wide variety of bacteria is far more exploited than fungi as biosurfactants (BS) or
bioemulsifiers (BE), using renewable sources. BS are considered to be environmentally safe …

Petroleum-derived hydrocarbons are among the most persistent soil contaminants, and
some hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms can produce biosurfactants to increase …

The oil industry is responsible for the contamination of vast areas of soil and sea. Although
crude oil spills in the environment have a huge visual appeal, it is the daily contamination …

Biosurfactants are surface-active compounds produced by microorganisms. These
molecules reduce surface tension between aqueous solutions and hydrocarbon mixtures. In …

In the present study, two bacteria Pseudomonas sp. and Bacillus sp. resistant to the crude oil
were isolated from the Khor Musa sediments, Persian Gulf, Iran. Hemolysis, oil spreading …

The main objective of this paper is to optimize biosurfactant production by Pseudomonas
aeruginosa 2297 with statistical approaches. Biosurfactant production from P. aeruginosa …

The contamination of ecosystems with heavy metals is an important issue in current world
and remediation technologies should be in according to environmental sustainability …

Background and objectives: BIOSURFACTANT s are surface active agents with broad range
commercial applications in various industries and have considerable advantages over their …

A bacterial consortium was selected in the presence of Cu from sediment samples taken
from Sepetiba Bay, Brazil, which is a site historically contaminated by metals. Bacteria were …
