Combined effects of α-amylase, xylanase, and cellulase coproduced by Stachybotrys microspora on dough properties and bread quality as a bread improver.

This study aims to explore the feasibility of introducing, during the manufacture of bakery bread, an enzymatic cocktail coproduced by the fungus Stachybotrys microspora: α-amylases, xylanases and cellulases, using wheat bran as a nutrient source. Among the characteristics of the alveograph (dough tenacity "P" and dough extensibility "L"), the addition of a cocktail of enzymes at a concentration of 2 %, to weak wheat flour, has made it possible to significantly reduce its P/L ratio from 2.45 to 1.

Isolation and characterization of two glycolipopeptids biosurfactants produced by a Lactiplantibacillus plantarum OL5 strain isolated from green olive curing water.

Microbial surfactants are natural amphiphilic compounds with high surface activities and emulsifying properties. Due to their structural diversity, low toxicity, biodegradability, and chemical stability in different conditions, these molecules are potential substitutes for chemical surfactants; their interest has grown significantly over the last decade. The current study focuses on the isolation, identification, and characterization of a lactic acid bacteria that produce two forms of biosurfactants.

SPB1 lipopeptide biosurfactant: antibacterial efficiency against the phytopathogenic bacteria and compared production in submerged and solid state fermentation systems.

SPB1 derived biosurfactants (BioS) proved its bio-control activity against using tomato plant. Almost 83% of disease symptoms triggered by were reduced. Aiming potential application, we studied lipopeptide cost-effective production in both fermentations systems, namely the submerged fermentation (SmF) and the solid-state fermentation (SSF) as well as the use of Aleppo pine waste and confectionery effluent as cheap substrates.

Optimization of textile effluent bacterial treatment and improvement of the process efficiency through SPB1 biosurfactant addition.

The current work aims to optimize biological textile effluent treatment through the use of newly selected bacterial consortia composed of two strains: Citrobacter sedlakii RI11 and Aeromonas veronii GRI. We assessed the effect of SPB1 biosurfactant addition on color removal (CR). The process was optimized by a Box-Bhenken by examining the effect of pH, consortia density and biosurfactant value on treatment efficiency.

Enhanced biosurfactant production by Bacillus subtilis SPB1 using developed fed-batch fermentation: effects of glucose levels and feeding systems.

Biosurfactants stand for highly useful and promising compounds. They basically serve for a variety of applications in multiple industries and aspects of human life. Therefore, it is highly required to improve their production yield especially through the development of new and more efficient fermentation processes.

Surface properties and heavy metals chelation of lipopeptides biosurfactants produced from date flour by Bacillus subtilis ZNI5: optimized production for application in bioremediation.

The present study summarizes the valorization of date flour by the production of lipopeptide biosurfactant (BioS) by Bacillus subtilis ZNI5 (MW091416). A Taguchi design permitted the formulation of a medium composed only of 6% date flour and 0.5% yeast extract within 2 days of incubation at 150 rpm with a maximal surface tension (ST) reduction of about 27.

Potential application of SPB1 biosurfactants in laundry detergent formulations: Compatibility study with detergent ingredients and washing performance.

Surfactants play a very important role in laundry and household cleaning products ingredients. In this research, the application of lipopeptide biosurfactants, produced by SPB1, in the formulation of a washing powder was investigated. The SPB1 biosurfactant was mixed with sodium tripolyphosphate as a builder and sodium sulfate as filler.

Anionic lipopeptides from I4 as effective antihypertensive agents: Production, characterization, and identification.

A new isolated strain I4 was found as producer of biosurfactants by different screening methods, such as parafilm M test, hemolytic activity, oil displacement test, emulsification index, surface tension, and lipase production assay. Enhanced biosurfactants production was obtained using glucose and glutamic acid as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively. The optimal production of the biosurfactants was obtained by using a C/N ratio of 17, pH of 7.

Improved Biosurfactant Production by SPB1 Mutant Obtained by Random Mutagenesis and Its Application in Enhanced Oil Recovery in a Sand System.

Biosurfactants or microbial surfactants are surface-active biomolecules that are produced by a variety of microorganisms. Biodegradability and low toxicity have led to the intensification of scientific studies on a wide range of industrial applications for biosurfactants in the field of environmental bioremediation as well as the petroleum industry and enhanced oil recovery. However, the major issues in biosurfactant production are high production cost and low yield.

Potential application of SPB1 lipopeptides in toothpaste formulation.

Toothpaste is a gel dentifrice used with a toothbrush as an accessory to clean, keep and promote oral hygiene. The literature review suggests that there are many different formulations of toothpastes and that each of their individual components present specific functions. The concentration of the toothpaste ingredients must be appropriately chosen taking into account the purposes of the toothpaste.
