Luteimonas huabeiensis HB-2 is a novel and newly isolated strain, which shows a superior property of oil displacement. Here, we present a 4.3-Mb assembly of its genome. The key genes for phospholipid and fatty acid metabolism were annotated, which are crucial for crude oil emulsification and recovery.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to develop a novel silymarin-loaded solid nanoparticle system with enhanced oral bioavailability and an ability to provide excellent hepatic protection for poorly water-soluble drugs using Shirasu porous glass (SPG) membrane emulsification and a spray-drying technique. METHODS A silymarin-loaded liquid nanoemulsion was formulated by applying the SPG me...

One of the excellent choices for compression ignition engines is emulsions. The current experimental analysis deals with transesterified Pongamia biodiesel. This work gives a substantial track to synthesize and enhance fuel by including aluminium oxide nanoparticles. Emulsification used prepare consisting 88% biodiesel, 10% water, 2% surfactants series chemical emulsification techniques. then m...

A systematic experimental study of the effect of several factors on the mean drop diameter, d32, during emulsification, is performed with soybean oil-in-water emulsions. These factors are (1) type of used emulsifier; (2) emulsifier concentration, CS; and (3) ionic strength of the aqueous solution. Three different types of emulsifier, anionic (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS), nonionic (polyoxyethyl...

The main purpose of the present investigation is to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of poorly watersoluble atorvastatin calcium (ATR) through the self nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS).The components for self-nanoemulsion were identified by solubility studies and tendency for self-emulsification in various excipients. Sefsol 218, Cremophor RH 40 and Propylene glycol were ...

the biqian-10 block, located in henan oilfield of sinopic, contains many thin and interbedded reservoirs, which have been operated by cyclic steam stimulation for 20 years or more. therefore, it is a challenge to implement the conventional steam flooding. in order to improve the recovery of steam flooding, urea was used to assist steam flooding. urea can decompose into co2 and nh3, which are be...

Two bacterial strains identified as Ralstonia picketti (BP 20) and Alcaligenes piechaudii (CZOR L-1B) were isolated from petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soil following bioremediation treatment. The surface active properties, e.g. surface tension, emulsification and foamability of their culture filtrates were evaluated. Bacterial cell-surface hydrophobicity (BAH) as measured by analyzing cell...
