Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsScreening 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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStudies 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 PDFCite
