Abstract:Biosurfactants possess surface and interfacial activity, low toxicity, high biodegradability, and stability in wide ranges of pH and temperature, which makes them competitive against the existing synthetic surfactants. However, economic aspects are still a barrier to the application in industrial scale. In order to optimize the production processes, the aim was to evaluate the production of extracellular biosurfactants from Saccharomyces cerevisiae using cellular stress techniques. The yeast was tested for six… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
