“…Their antimicrobial activity and surfactant properties increase the osmotic pressure within the cell causing leakage of the intracellular contents (Korenblum et al, 2012). El-Sheshtawy et al (2015) assessed the inhibitory potential of biosurfactant from Bacillus licheniformis to SRBs growth and reported some antimicrobial activity against the growth of different strains of SRB and a complete inhibition of SRB growth after 3 h exposure to 1.0% crude biosurfactant.…”

The growing global demand for sustainable technologies that improves the efficiency of petrochemical processes in the oil industry has driven advances in petroleum biotechnology in recent years. Petroleum industry uses substantial amounts of petrochemical-based synthetic surfactants in its activities as mobilizing agents to increase the availability or recovery of hydrocarbons as well as many other applications related to extraction, treatment, cleaning, and transportation. However, biosurfactants have several potential applications for use across the oil processing chain and in the formulations of petrochemical products such as emulsifying/demulsifying agents, anticorrosive, biocides for sulfate-reducing bacteria, fuel formulation, extraction of bitumen from tar sands, and many other innovative applications. Due to their versatility and proven efficiency, biosurfactants are often presented as valuable versatile tools that can transform and modernize petroleum biotechnology in an attempt to provide a true picture of state of the art and directions or use in the oil industry. We believe that biosurfactants are going to have a significant role in many future applications in the oil industries and in this review therefore, we highlight recent important relevant applications, patents disclosures and potential future applications for biosurfactants in petroleum and related industries.

Microorganisms are the important factors in the degradation of the toxic substances in our environment.Petrol and diesel oil is one of the complex mixtures which cannot be easily degraded. The Bacillus cereus was involved in the degradation of oil during which the complex toxic substances were detoxified by the production of biosurfactants. In our study we have identified that the biosurfactant producing Bacillus cereus have a high potential for hydrocarbon degradation. The Bacillus cereus was isolated from hydrocarbon contaminated soil and identified based on morphology and biochemical test according to the Bergey's manual of systematic bacteriology. The maximum hydrocarbon degrading biosurfactant producing Bacillus cereus was obtained by qualitative and quantitative methods. In optimization studies, the best results observed for Bacillus cereus were, Olive oil as the suitable carbon source, Sodium nitrate as the best Nitrogen source and Optimum pH is 7 and Optimum temperature is 37°C. The ability of these isolates to degrade hydrocarbons and survive in the oil contaminated soil is attributed to the development of resistance by mutation on the plasmid. It is also clearly evident that the specific gene was responsible for the production of biosurfactant and the degradation process. According to the results from the present study the Bacillus cereus has high potential for hydrocarbon degradation and can be used especially for Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery and bioremediation of hydrocarbons in near future.

“…Another kind of oil recovery is applied also naming “microbial enhanced oil recovery” (MEOR) where bio‐surfactants are implied to the recovery of a considerable portion of the residual oil in the reservoirs. In this process bio‐surfactants tightly adhere to the oil/water interface and reduce IFT between oil/ water and oil/ rock causing the formation of an emulsion in which the desorbed oil is stabilized by water …”

Novel Amphiphiles and Their Applications for Different Purposes with Special Emphasis on Polymeric Surfactants

Amphiphiles or surfactants are widely known for its reducing power of interfacial tension and extraordinary rheological properties. Among the various classes of surfactants gemini surfactants, biosurfactants and polymeric surfactants are remarkable and distinguishable among the others for their structural diversity and profitable usefulness. Primarily, the performance of any surfactant can be determined by HLB (Hydrophile Lipophile Balance) value, an empirical parameter. This review attempts to clarify some of the terminology used in literature by providing illustration of classification, features and diverse applications of different surfactants.
