Abstract:IntroductionBiosurfactants have been given considerable attention as they are potential candidates for several biotechnological applications.Materials and methodsIn this study, a promising thermophilic biosurfactant-producing HA-2 was isolated from the volcanic and arid region of Uhud mountain, Madinah, Saudi Arabia. It was identified using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The biosurfactant production ability was screened using different methods such as the drop collapse test, oil spreading test, hemolytic act… Show more
