Improvement of Biosurfactant Production by Microbial Strains Through Supplementation of Hydrophobic Substrates
Biosurfactants are amphiphilic tensioactive natural products that are capable of lowering the surface and interfacial tensions of the growth medium. Efficient biosurfactants are characterized by their ability to enhance the aqueous solubility of hydrophobic compounds and to emulsify hydrocarbons in...
