Increase in anthropogenic activities due to rapid industrialization had caused an elevation in heavy metal contamination of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. These pollutants have detrimental effects on human and environmental health. The majority of these pollutants are carcinogenic, neurotoxic, and are very poisonous even at very low concentrations. Contamination caused by heavy metals has become a global concern for which the traditional treatment approaches lack in providing a cost-effecti
Biosurfactants are molecules of 21st century. Their application(s) intercedes in daily life of living beings. Major limitation in the wide applicability of biosurfactant(s) is the economicity of production. To overcome this several strategies can be employed. This review is centered on the recent technological advancements in biosurfactant research. The advancement(s) include the use of metabolomic and sequence based omics approaches that has become a high-throughput indispensable tool for the i
A bacterium, identified as Planomicrobium okeanokoites designated as strain IITR52 was isolated for biosurfactant production using corncob and pineapple waste. The surfactant produced by strain IITR52 reduced the surface tension (45 N/m) and forms an emulsion (57%). Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy analysis identified it as a rhamnolipid that exhibits thermo-stable and halo-tolerant properties. The biosurfactant exhibited stability across pH (2.0–13.0), temperature (25–121 °C) and salt
