Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIdentification of Pseudozyma hubeiensis Y10BS025 as a Potent Producer of Glycolipid Biosurfactant Mannosylerythritol lipidsMartha Sari, Atit Kanti, I. Made Artika, Wien KusharyotoMannosylerythritol Lipids (MEL’s) are glycolipid biosurfactants that contain 4-O-β-D-mannopyranosyl-meso-erythritol as a hydrophilic moiety and fatty acids as a hydrophobic moiety. MEL’s are abundantly produced by several kinds of microorganism and are one of the most promising biosurfactants currently known. The search for a novel endogenous producer of MEL’s was undertaken based on the available collection of the yeast strains from … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2013 · 8,095 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleScreening Three Strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Prediction of Biosurfactant-Producer StrainGholamreza Dehghan-Noudeh, Mohammad Hasan Moshafi, Effat Behravan et al.Problem statement: The chemical surfactants have some disadvantages; especially, toxicity and no biodegradability. Approach: Biosurfactants were the structurally diverse group of surface-active molecules synthesize by micro-organisms. The microbial surfactants were interesting, because of the biodegradable and have many applications in industry, agriculture, medicine. Results: In the present study, the production of biosurfactant by three strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PTCC 1074, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,552 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBiosurfactants in the Halal Economy: Sustainable Solutions for Food, Pharma, and BeyondKanokphorn Sangkharak, Suppasil Maneerat, Aem Nuylert et al.Biosurfactants, microbial surface-active compounds, are gaining attention as sustainable, biocompatible alternatives to synthetic surfactants. Their properties, including emulsification, foaming, and antimicrobial activities, enable diverse applications in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. With increasing demand for halal-certified products, biosurfactants offer potential as halal ingredients, provided they are produced using compliant strains, substrates, and processing methods. This review examines the production of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 7 Aug 2026 · 1,142 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBiosurfactan Production by Bacillus sp. Isolated from Petroleum Contaminated Soils of Sirri IslandM. Ghayyomi Jazeh, F. Forghani, Deog-Hwan OhProblem statement: Biosurfactants are active surface components produced by some bacteria and fungi. These molecules reduce surface and interfacial tension in aqueous solutions and hydrocarbon mixtures. The most important application of biosurfactants is in oil industry to enhance oil quality and facilitate oil extraction. The aim of this study was to isolate biosurfactant producing bacteria and optimize the conditions like … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 13 Jan 2012 · 8,552 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudies On Bioemulsifier Production by Bacillus licheniformis PTCC 1595Gholamreza D. Noudeh, Mohammad H. Moshafi, Payam Khazaeli, Farideh AkefSurfactants are amphipathic molecules which reduce surface and interfacial tensions and widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food and petroleum industries. Biosurfactants are the structurally diverse group of surface-active molecules synthesized by microorganisms. There are several advantages for biosurfactants in contrast with chemical surfactants, such as lower toxicity; higher biodegradability; better environmental compatibility; higher foaming; high selectivity and specific activity at … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,282 accessesView PDF Cite
