Pharmacological activities and phytochemical evaluation of coconut crude oil and upon exposure to ozone.

Coconut oil is eatable oil with many nutritional and cosmetic applications. In this investigation coconut oil was subjected to 0 to 5 L/min of ozone for 3 h and the chemical composition of both crude and ozonized oil was valued via Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Some biological tests were done including antibacterial action versus Helicobacter pylori, anti-biofilm activity versus H.

Production and characterization of rhamnolipid biosurfactant from thermophilic bacterium isolated from Uhud mountain.

Introduction: Biosurfactants have been given considerable attention as they are potential candidates for several biotechnological applications.

Materials And Methods: In 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.
