Biotechnological downstream processing faces several challenges, such as dilute product
streams and contained target products which are sensitive to heat, oxidation, other …

Foam formation is a massive challenge in submerged aerated bioprocesses, eg, in beer
fermentation. While the use of antifoam may easily overcome foaming at laboratory scale, it …

The production of biosurfactant by Bacillus subtilis LSFM-05 was carried out using raw
glycerol, obtained from a vegetable oil biodiesel plant in Brazil, as the sole carbon source …

Biosurfactants are surface-active agents that are produced by a variety of microorganisms
including yeasts, filamentous fungi and bacteria. In this work, we report on the ability of …

Microorganisms produce a variety of surface active compounds mostly on cell surfaces or
excreted extracellularly. These microbially derived surfactants, called biosurfactants, have …

Stresses the Potential Applications of Biosurfactants in Various Industries Environmental
concerns and a demand for sustainable chemical production have become important issues …

Surfactin, one of the best lipopeptide surfactants, was first isolated from Bacillus sp. in 1969.
Since then, Bacillus sp. has been a remarkable source of bioactive lipopeptides, with a huge …

Lipopeoptides are amphiphilic compounds combining interesting physicochemical
properties and biological activities. Due to their high foaming capacity in aerated bioreactor …

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

Surfactin, a lipopeptide biosurfactant, was used to stabilize the formation of silver
nanoparticles. Synthesis of silver nanoparticles using a borohydrate reduction was …
