Biosurfactant production by Bacillus subtilis using corn steep liquor as cultur...
Gudiña, Eduardo J.; Fernandes, Elisabete Clara Resende; Rodrigues, A. I.; Teixeira, J. A.; Rodrigues, L. R.In this work, biosurfactant production by Bacillus subtilis #573 was evaluated using corn steep liquor (CSL) as culture medium. The best results were obtained in a culture medium consisting of 10% (v/v) of CSL, with a biosurfactant production of about 1.3 g/l. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing biosurfactant production by B. subtilis using CSL as culture medium. Subsequently, the ...
Study of biosurfactant "cocktails" with enhanced properties
Fernandes, Elisabete Clara ResendeDissertação de mestrado em Bioengenharia; Biosurfactants are molecules produced by a variety of microorganisms that exhibit pronounced surface and emulsifying activities. A wide range of chemical structures can be found among these compounds. Hence, it is reasonable to expect diverse properties and physiological functions for different groups of biosurfactants. Thus, the aim of this thesis was to prepare mixtur...
