For microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR), different mechanisms have been introduced. In some of these papers, the phenomena and related to biosurfactants produced by certain microorganisms were discussed, while others studied direct impacts properties on mechanisms. However, there are only very few papers dealing with interfacial properties. present work, three bacteria MJ02 (Bacillus Subtili...

As one of the main non-covalent relations in microbiological-based systems, cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) can be observed as a relevant parameter for biodegradation capability and suggested bacterial behaviour biofilm formation during bioremediation process. On other hand, role ureolytic bacteria has subsequently led to examination this type different engineering fields. In order optimize o...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether several topical compounds and other chemical entities are able to diminish the surface hydrophobicity of yeast cells. METHOD Hydrophobicity of yeast cells was determined by binding styrene microspheres to the surface of untreated yeast or yeast pre-incubated with various substances with potential for cell surface modification. The degree of microsphere adherence...
