Biosurfactants are surface-active biomolecules produced by microbes (bacteria, fungi, and
yeast) and have several advantages over the chemical surfactants, such as lower toxicity …

Surfactants are surface-active compounds capable of reducing surface and interfacial
tension at the interfaces between liquids, solids and gases, thereby allowing them to mix or …

We studied the effect of two probiotic Bacillus subtilis strains on the growth performance,
digestive enzyme activity, immune gene expression and disease resistance of juvenile white …

Covering: up to 2013 Although holo-acyl carrier protein synthase, AcpS, a
phosphopantetheinyl transferase (PPTase), was characterized in the 1960s, it was not until …

Surfactants are widely used for various purposes in industry, but for many years were mainly
chemically synthesized. It has only been in the past few decades that biological surface …

Arthrofactin (AF) and surfactin (SF) are the most effective cyclic lipopeptide biosurfactants
ever reported. Linear AF and linear SF were prepared by saponification of lactone ring. The …

Microorganisms produce biosurfactant (BS)/bioemulsifier (BE) with wide structural and
functional diversity which consequently results in the adoption of different techniques to …

Strain BAS50, isolated from a petroleum reservoir at a depth of 1,500 m and identified as
Bacillus licheniformis, grew and produced a lipopeptide surfactant when cultured on a …

A biosurfactant termed arthrofactin produced by Arthrobacter species strain MIS38 was
purified and chemically characterized as 3-hydroxydecanoyl-D-leucyl-D-asparagyl-D …

Surfactin, an acidic lipopeptide produced by various strains of Bacillus subtilis, behaves as a
very powerful biosurfactant and possesses several other interesting biological activities. This …
