Anthracene and Pyrene Biodegradation Performance of Marine Sponge Symbiont Bacteria Consortium

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the potential performance of a consortium of sponge symbiont bacteria in degrading anthracene and pyrene and found that the degradation of PAHs via physical, biological, and chemical methods is not yet efficient.

Isolation of Biosurfactant-Producing Bacteria and Their Co-Culture Application in Microbial Fuel Cell for Simultaneous Hydrocarbon Degradation and Power Generation

TL;DR: In this article , two bacterial strains (Bacillus subtilis strain B1 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain B2) were isolated from petroleum-contaminated soils, which were found effective in producing biosurfactants and degrading crude oil as the sole carbon source.

Microbial production of surfactants and their commercial potential.

TL;DR: Biosurfactants are more effective, selective, environmentally friendly, and stable than many synthetic surfactants, and the most promising applications are cleaning of oil-contaminated tankers, oil spill management, transportation of heavy crude oil, enhanced oil recovery, recovery of crude oil from sludge, and bioremediation of sites contaminated with hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and other pollutants.

Surface-Active Agents from Two Bacillus Species

TL;DR: It is suggested that earlier reports of biopolymers which both stabilized emulsions and lowered surface tension were actually similar aggregates of lipid and bioemulsifier.

A study on the structure-function relationship of lipopeptide biosurfactants.

TL;DR: Arthrofactin (AF) and surfactin (SF) are the most effective cyclic lipopeptide biosurfactants ever reported as mentioned in this paper, and they have shown higher activity under alkaline conditions than acidic conditions.

Biodegradation of phenanthrene by Pseudomonas sp. strain PP2: novel metabolic pathway, role of biosurfactant and cell surface hydrophobicity in hydrocarbon assimilation

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that growth-associated extracellular biosurfactant production and modulation of cell surface hydrophobicity plays an important role in hydrocarbon assimilation/uptake in Pseudomonas sp.
