Microbial biofilms: biosurfactants as antibiofilm agents (2014)
Journal Article
IM, B., Rienzo MA, D., & GA, Q. (2014). Microbial biofilms: biosurfactants as antibiofilm agents. Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 98, 9915–9929. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00253-014-6169-6

Current microbial inhibition strategies based on planktonic bacterial physiology have been known to have limited efficacy on the growth of biofilm communities. This problem can be exacerbated by the emergence of increasingly resistant clinical strain... Read More about Microbial biofilms: biosurfactants as antibiofilm agents.

Metal removal from contaminated soils trough bioleaching with oxidizing bacteria and washing with rhamnolipid bio surfactants. (2014)
Journal Article
Rienzo, M. A., Urdaneta De Ranson, I., Dorta, B., Banat, I. M., Blazquez, M. L., Gonzalez, F., …Ballester, A. (2014). Metal removal from contaminated soils trough bioleaching with oxidizing bacteria and washing with rhamnolipid bio surfactants. Soil and Sediment Contamination, 24(1), 16-29. https://doi.org/10.1080/15320383.2014.907239

The use of surfactants as a method for solubilization and removal of heavy metal contamination from soil has been reported before. Biosurfactants produced by some microorganisms are able to modify the surface of various metals and aggregate on interp...

Bio surfactant Production in Aerobic and Anaerobic Conditions by Different Species of the Genus Pseudomonas (2014)
Journal Article
Diaz De Rienzo, M., Urdaneta, I., & Dorta, B. (2014). Bio surfactant Production in Aerobic and Anaerobic Conditions by Different Species of the Genus Pseudomonas. Journal of Life Sciences, 8(3), 201-210

In a time where surface active agents are capable of reducing the energy of the bonds between water molecules by interacting with them to reduce surface tension, it would be unwise not to be able to generate these in masses. Different Pseudomonas spe... Read More about Bio surfactant Production in Aerobic and Anaerobic Conditions by Different Species of the Genus Pseudomonas.
