TL;DR: In this paper, Azadirachta indica leave extract (AILE) was identified as minimal inhibitory concentration for the bacterial strains B. subtilis A1, S. parvus B7, P. stutzeri NA3 and A. baumannii MN3.
93 citations
TL;DR: The ecotoxicity evaluation of degradation products indicated that CLO degradation in 3D-ICE-EF system exhibits a remarkable tendency to reduce toxicity levels.
88 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the effectiveness of garlic extract to inhibit the bio-corrosion of carbon steel API 5LX (CS) and stainless steel 316 (SS) in the presence of Bacillus subtilis A1 and Streptomyces parvus B7 was estimated.
68 citations
TL;DR: The surface-active molecules along with the enzymes played a crucial role in the biodegradation process and changes in the major functional groups (CH, C-O-C, CO, =CH2, CH2,CH3) were confirmed by FTIR analysis and intermediated metabolites were identified by GCMS analysis.
46 citations
TL;DR: The role of biosurfactants producing hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria (HDB) on biodegradation and bio-corrosion was evaluated in this paper, where the degradation of crude oil by Streptomyces parvus B7 and its effects on the corrosion of carbon steel in oil reservoir were shown.
