Eco-Friendly Bioemulsifier Production by UCP0001 Isolated from Mangrove Sediments Using Renewable Substrates for Environmental Applications.

The successful production of a biosurfactant is dependent on the development of processes using low cost raw materials. In the present work, an economically attractive medium composed of corn steep liquor and waste cooking oil was formulated to maximize the production of bioemulsifier by UCP0001. A central rotational composite design was applied to statistical validation of the production.

Cadmium Removal from Aqueous Solutions by Strain of UCP1320 Isolated from Laundry Effluent.

Background: Cadmium (Cd), which is a deadly heavy metal of work-related and environmental concern, has been recognized as a substance that is teratogenic and carcinogenic for humans. Therefore, the need to develop low-cost adsorbents to remove heavy metals from aqueous solution has greatly increased. Adsorbents such as biomass have been used.
