Role of biosurfactants in bioremediation of oil pollution-a review
Open accessAbstract
The energy resources mainly petroleum and petroleum hydrocarbons are major pollutants of the environment. The oil and oil products contamination may cause severe harm and hence, the attention has been remunerated in the development of alternative technologies for elimination of these contaminants. Biosurfactants were used in the remediation of oil pollution due to advantages such as biodegradability and low toxicity. The biosurfactants are produced from low cost substrates like agro-industrial wastes which reduce the cost of production. Biosurfactants and bioemulsifiers are amphiphilic compounds and are produced as extracellular or a part of the cell membrane by bacteria. The insight view, how hydrocarbons are degraded by microorganisms and thereby reduce the damage of ecosystem is highly essential to target the problem. Biofilms are the bacterial communities which protects the bacterial cells from various adverse conditions. The present review describes the biosurfactants and its synthesis from bacteria and also emphases on the role of surfactants in oil remediation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
