Environmentally friendly, microbially produced surfactants known as biosurfactants have
recently seen an explosion in commercial activity and interest due to a reduction in the cost …

Inherently occurring foam formation during aerobic fermentation of surface‐active
compounds can be exploited by fractionating the foam. This also serves as the first …

Abstract Since 60–80% of total costs of production are usually associated with downstream
collection, separation, and purification processes, it has become advantageous to …

Biosurfactants could potentially outperform traditional surfactants in many applications whilst
being more sustainable to source, manufacture, use and dispose of. However, currently …

A novel foam fractionation design has been developed for continuously recovering
extracellular biosurfactants from fermenters. The apparatus design allows for the operating …

Foam fractionation is an adsorptive separation method that occurs on the liquid-foam
interface, when rising bubbles removes active-surface compounds distributed throughout …

Due to the exceptional properties and many potential applications of hydrophobins, special
fungal proteins, it becomes necessary to develop a real scale procedure for their production …

Surfactants are compounds with high surface activity and emulsifying property. These
compounds find application in food, medical, pharmaceutical, and petroleum industries, as …

Hydrophobins are exceptional proteins produced by fungi. Research over the last decade
has led to a better understanding of their role in spontaneous self-assembly at hydrophobic …

Purification is a critical step to obtain hydrophobin HFBII for use in positive applications. In
this study, hydrophobin HFBII was produced by Trichoderma reesei via submerged …
