Surface-active substances synthesized by Rhodococcus erythropolis ІMВ Ас-5017 during co-cultivation with inducing bacteria either Bacillus subtilis BT-2 or Escherichia coli ІЕM-1 (SASI) had the higher antimicrobial and antiadhesive activities in comparison with surface-active substances synthesized in the medium without cells of inducing bacteria (SAS). Minimum inhibitory concentrations of SASI ranged from 3 to12 μg/mL and were in 4-32 times lower than the same parameter for SAS. Treatment of abiotic surfaces (ceramic, steel, and glass) with SASI decreased adhesion of bacteria Staphylococcus aureus BMC-1 or yeasts Candida albicans D-6 to the level of 10-32 % in comparison with 32-87 % after treatment of surfaces with SAS. Destruction of bacterial and yeast biofilms treated with SASI was in the range from 40 to 94 %, while it was 32-65 % in the case when SAS was used. Increasing of biological activity of surface-active substances synthesized by R. erythropolis in co-culture with inducing bacteria E. coli or B. subtilis was shown for the first time.

Biosurfactants are biodegradable, non-toxic, and environmentally beneficial substances that are produced by microorganisms. Due to their chemical characteristics and stability in various environmental circumstances, biosurfactants are low-molecular-weight, surface-active molecules of great industrial importance. The choice of the producer microbe, kind of substrate, and purification technique determine the chemistry of a biosurfactant and its production cost.

Article Synopsis
  • Bile salts act as biosurfactants in the gastrointestinal tract, helping to emulsify and absorb fat-soluble nutrients and drugs.
  • The study utilized giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) to investigate the permeation behavior of bile salts and their mixed micelles, using sodium cholate (NaC) and various lipophilic substances.
  • Findings showed that below the critical micelle concentration (CMC), NaC causes endocytic changes in GUVs, while above the CMC, mixed micelles interact with the membrane differently, forming aggregates that migrate into the GUV, with variations observed depending on the type of lipophilic component used.

Background: Currently, protein-polyphenol complexes have garnered increasing attention as surface-active substances in high internal phase Pickering emulsions (HIPPEs). However, the effects of the oil type and flavonoid structure on the HIPPE-stabilizing ability of protein-polyphenol complexes remain unclear. Notably, very few studies have investigated the impacts and mechanisms of different oils (olive, flaxseed, and coconut oils) and the effects of the addition of flavonoids (catechin and quercetin) on the interfacial behavior of walnut protein hydrolysates (WPHs) and the co-oxidation of protein-lipid in the resulting emulsion during storage.

Modulating microbial motility and physiology can enhance the production of bacterial macromolecules and small molecules. Herein, a platform of water-soluble and amphiphilic peptidomimetic polyurethanes is reported as a means of regulating bacterial surface behavior and the concomitant production of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). It is demonstrated that carboxyl (-COOH)-containing polyurethanes exhibited 17-fold and 80-fold enhancements in () swarming and twitching areas, respectively.
