Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of the polar parameters of the surface tension of liquids by contact angle measurements on gels
TL;DR: In this paper, the existence of negative interfacial tension at liquid/liquid interfaces was shown to be a real phenomenon between monopolar surfaces (i.e., surfaces with mainly H-acceptor properties) and polar liquids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rhamnolipid production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa under denitrification: Effects of limiting nutrients and carbon substrates
TL;DR: The new strategy of rhamnolipid production under denitrification conditions was evaluated and much higher cell concentrations may be employed to attain higher volumetric productivity and product concentrations, for more economical product recovery and/or purification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation of n-Hexadecane and Its Metabolites by Pseudomonas aeruginosa under Microaerobic and Anaerobic Denitrifying Conditions
Chawala Chayabutra,Lu-Kwang Ju +1 more
TL;DR: A strategy for sequential hydrocarbon bioremediation is proposed, where the initial O2-requiring transformation is effected by aerobic resting cells, thus avoiding a high oxygen demand and the oxygenated metabolites can then be degraded even under anaerobic conditions when supplemented with a highly water-soluble alternative electron acceptor, such as nitrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Purification of lactonic sophorolipids by crystallization.
Yongmei Hu,Lu-Kwang Ju +1 more
TL;DR: A practical and effective method for purifying lactonic SLs to about 99% purity using phosphate buffers was developed, and the FTIR spectra showed significantly less SL components with free acid groups in the purified SLs than in the crude SLs, confirming the removal of acidic SLs in the purification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aerobic Denitrification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Monitored by Online NAD(P)H Fluorescence
Fan Chen,Qing Xia,Lu-Kwang Ju +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of DO on various culture properties, especially aerobic respiration and denitrification, were studied for continuous cultures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 9027) maintained at different dissolved oxygen concentrations.
