Pseudomonas putida is a microbial chassis of huge potential for industrial and
environmental biotechnology, owing to its remarkable metabolic versatility and ability to …

Microbial biosurfactants are sustainable alternatives for synthetic counterparts, and display
high biodegradability, environmental compatibility, and high selectivity. While previous …

In this study, we proposed to incorporate natural herbicides ie caprylic and pelargonic acids
into an amide functional group of a cationic surfactant, thus obtaining amidequats. All the …

The marine bacterium Alcanivorax borkumensis produces a surface-active glycine-
glucolipid during growth with long-chain alkanes. A high-performance liquid …

A novel biosurfactant was discovered to be synthesized by the marine bacterium
Alcanivorax borkumensis in 1992. This bacterium is abundant in marine environments …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of organic contaminants that pose a
significant environmental hazard. Phenanthrene is one of the model compounds for the …

Recombinant rhamnolipid production circumvents challenges connected to the usage of
pathogenic wild-type producers such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In order to construct an …

Surfactants are molecules that are characterized by their surface-active properties but have
a diverse chemical composition as was discussed in the previous chapter. Due to their …

Cultivating microorganisms on solid agar media is a fundamental technique in microbiology
and other related disciplines. For the evaluation, most often, a subjective visual examination …

In times of intensive agriculture, resource shortening and climate change, alternative, more
sustainable and eco-friendly plant protection strategies are required. Here, we tested the …
