Scientists at Indian Institute of Technology, Department of Biotechnology publish new data on biomedical engineering
December 24th, 2006
Scientists discuss in "Towards commercial production of microbial surfactants" new findings in biomedical engineering. "Biosurfactants or microbial surfactants are surface-active biomolecules that are produced by a variety of microorganisms. Biosurfactants have gained importance in the fields of enhanced oil recovery, environmental bioremediation, food processing and pharmaceuticals owing to their unique properties--higher biodegradability, lower toxicity, and effectiveness at extremes of temperature, pH and salinity," scientists in Kharagpur, India report. "However, large-scale production of these molecules has not been realized because of low yields in production...
