H6 and Sporosarcina pasteurii bacterium. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 234:116588. [PMID: 37423368 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116588] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2023] [Revised: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/06/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023]
Abstract
Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is an efficient and eco-friendly technique that has attracted significant interest for resolving various problems in the soil (erosion, improving structural integrity and water retention, etc.), remediation of heavy metals, production of self-healing concrete or restoration of different concrete structures. The success of most common MICP methods depends on microorganisms degrading urea which leads to the formation of CaCO3 crystals. While Sporosarcina pasteurii is a well-known microorganism for MICP, other soil abundant microorganisms, such as Staphylococcus bacteria have not been thoroughly studied for its efficiency in bioconsolidation though MICP is a very important proccess which can ensure soil quality and health. This study aimed to analyze MICP process at the surface level in Sporosarcina pasteurii and a newly screened Staphylococcus sp. H6 bacterium as well as show the possibility of this new microorganism to perform MICP. It was observed that Staphylococcus sp. H6 culture precipitated 157.35 ± 3.3 mM of Ca2+ ions from 200 mM, compared to 176 ± 4.8 mM precipitated by S. pasteurii. The bioconsolidation of sand particles was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and XRD analysis, which indicated the formation of CaCO3 crystals for both Staphylococcus sp. H6 and S. pasteurii cells. The water-flow test suggested a significant reduction in water permeability in bioconsolidated sand samples for both Staphylococcus sp. H6 and S. pasteurii. Notably, this study provides the first evidence that CaCO3 precipitation occurs on the surface of Staphylococcus and S. pasteurii cells within the initial 15-30 min after exposure to the biocementation solution. Furthermore, Atomic force microscopy (AFM) indicated rapid changes in cell roughness, with bacterial cells becoming completely coated with CaCO3 crystals after 90 min incubation with a biocementation solution. To our knowledge, this is the first time where atomic force microscopy was used to visualize the dynamic of MICP on cell surface.

Amelioration of lipopeptide biosurfactants for enhanced antibacterial and biocompatibility through molecular antioxidant property by methoxy and carboxyl moieties. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 161:114493. [PMID: 36906974 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.114493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2023] [Revised: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 03/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Biosurfactants having surface-active biomolecules have been the cynosure in environment research due to their vast application. However, the lack of information about their low-cost production and detailed mechanistic biocompatibility limits the applicability. The study explores techniques for the production and design of low-cost, biodegradable, and non-toxic biosurfactants from Brevibacterium casei strain LS14 and excavates the mechanistic details of their biomedical properties like antibacterial effects and biocompatibility. Taguchi's design of experiment was used to optimize for enhancing biosurfactant production by optimal factor combinations like Waste glycerol (1%v/v), peptone (1%w/v), NaCl 0.4% (w/v), and pH 6. Under optimal conditions, the purified biosurfactant reduced the surface tension to 35 mN/m from 72.8 mN/m (MSM) and a critical micelle concentration of 25 mg/ml was achieved. Spectroscopic analyses of the purified biosurfactant using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance suggested it as a lipopeptide biosurfactant. The evaluation of mechanistic antibacterial, antiradical, antiproliferative, and cellular effects indicated the efficient antibacterial activity (against Pseudomonas aeruginosa) of biosurfactants due to free radical scavenging activity and oxidative stress. Moreover, the cellular cytotoxicity was estimated by MTT and other cellular assays revealing the phenomenon as the dose-dependent induction of apoptosis due to free radical scavenging with an LC50 of 55.6 ± 2.3 mg/ml.

Abstract
Despite hydrolytic exoenzymes and biosurfactants having been gradually reported from the poriferan microbiome, little is known about these bioproducts in microorganisms inhabiting Homoscleromorpha sponges. Here, we investigated the production of hydrolases and biosurfactants in bacteria isolated from three shallow-water homoscleromorph species, Oscarella sp., Plakina cyanorosea, and Plakina cabofriense. A total of 99 of 107 sponge-associated bacterial isolates exhibited activity for at least one of the analyzed hydrolases. Following fermentation in Luria-Bertani (LB) and Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB), two isolates, 80BH11 and 80B1:1010b, showed higher lipase and peptidase activities. Both of them belonged to the Bacillus genus and were isolated from Oscarella. Central composite design leveraged up the peptidase activity in 280% by Bacillus sp. 80BH11 in the TSB medium for 48 h at 30 °C. The optimized model also revealed that pH 6.5 and 45 °C were the best conditions for peptidase reaction. In addition, Bacillus sp. 80BH11 was able to release highly emulsifying and remarkably stable surfactants in the LB medium. Surfactin was finally elucidated as the biosurfactant generated by this sponge-derived Bacillus. In conclusion, we hope to have set the scenery for further prospecting of industrial enzymes and biosurfactants in Homoscleromorpha microbiomes.

Abstract
Our world is under serious threat of environmental degradation, climate change and in association with this the out breaks of diseases as pandemics. The devastating impact of the very recent COVID-19, The sharp increase in cases of Cancer, Pulmonary failure, Heart health has triggered questions for the sustainable development of pharmaceutical and medical sciences. In the search of inclusive and effective strategies to meet today’s demand, improvised methodologies and alternative green chemical, bio-based precursors are being introduced by scientists around the globe. In this extensive review we have presented the potentiality and Realtime applications of both synthetic and bio-based surfactants in bio-medical and pharmaceutical fields. For their excellent unique amphoteric nature and ability to solubilise in both organic and inorganic drugs, surfactants are one of the most potential candidates for bio-medicinal fields such as dermatology, drug delivery, anticancer treatment, surfactant therapy, vaccine formulation, personal hygiene care and many more. The self-assembly property of surfactants is a very powerful function for drug delivery systems that increases the bio-availability of the poorly aqueous soluble pharmaceutical products by influencing their solubility. Over the decades many researchers have reported the antimicrobial, anti-adhesive, antibiofilm, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant activities of surfactants regarding its utility in medicinal purposes. In some reports surfactants are found to have spermicidal and laxative activity too. This comprehensive report is targeted to enlighten the versatile applications of Surfactants in drug delivery, vaccine formulation, Cancer Treatment, Therapeutic and cosmetic Pharmaceutical Sciences and prevention of pulmonary failure due to COVID-19.

Polyphasic Analysis Reveals Potential Petroleum Hydrocarbon Degradation and Biosurfactant Production by Rare Biosphere Thermophilic Bacteria From Deception Island, an Active Antarctic Volcano. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:885557. [PMID: 35602031 PMCID: PMC9114708 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.885557] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2022] [Accepted: 04/14/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Extreme temperature gradients in polar volcanoes are capable of selecting different types of extremophiles. Deception Island is a marine stratovolcano located in maritime Antarctica. The volcano has pronounced temperature gradients over very short distances, from as high as 100°C in the fumaroles to subzero next to the glaciers. These characteristics make Deception a promising source of a variety of bioproducts for use in different biotechnological areas. In this study, we isolated thermophilic bacteria from sediments in fumaroles at two geothermal sites on Deception Island with temperatures between 50 and 100°C, to evaluate the potential capacity of these bacteria to degrade petroleum hydrocarbons and produce biosurfactants under thermophilic conditions. We isolated 126 thermophilic bacterial strains and identified them molecularly as members of genera Geobacillus, Anoxybacillus, and Brevibacillus (all in phylum Firmicutes). Seventy-six strains grew in a culture medium supplemented with crude oil as the only carbon source, and 30 of them showed particularly good results for oil degradation. Of 50 strains tested for biosurfactant production, 13 showed good results, with an emulsification index of 50% or higher of a petroleum hydrocarbon source (crude oil and diesel), emulsification stability at 100°C, and positive results in drop-collapse, oil spreading, and hemolytic activity tests. Four of these isolates showed great capability of degrade crude oil: FB2_38 (Geobacillus), FB3_54 (Geobacillus), FB4_88 (Anoxybacillus), and WB1_122 (Geobacillus). Genomic analysis of the oil-degrading and biosurfactant-producer strain FB4_88 identified it as Anoxybacillus flavithermus, with a high genetic and functional diversity potential for biotechnological applications. These initial culturomic and genomic data suggest that thermophilic bacteria from this Antarctic volcano have potential applications in the petroleum industry, for bioremediation in extreme environments and for microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) in reservoirs. In addition, recovery of small-subunit rRNA from metagenomes of Deception Island showed that Firmicutes is not among the dominant phyla, indicating that these low-abundance microorganisms may be important for hydrocarbon degradation and biosurfactant production in the Deception Island volcanic sediments.

Abstract
Biosurfactant is a biodegradation accelerator that improves bioavailability and facilitates degradation by microorganisms. The study was meant to produce a novel biosurfactant molecule from Bacillussafensis YKS2. An efficient biosurfactant-producing strain, namely, Bacillus safensis YKS2, was selected using hemolytic activity, drop collapsing test, oil spreading test and blue agar plate methods in four oil-degrading strains isolated from a soil sample. Biosurfactant production in the optimization of bacteria culture conditions by RSM is a statistical grouping technique that is analyzed using the AVOVA approach to surface tention. In addition, the study was characterized by UV spectrophotometer FT-IR, HR-SEM, and GC-MS analyses to explain its structural and chemical details. Wastewater treatment was monitored for pH, EC, turbidity, alkalinity, chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and dissolved oxygen (DO) in order to justify the efficacy of the biosurfactant during wastewater treatment. The results of the UV spectrophotometer showed absorption at 530 nm, and the FT-IR analyzed carboxylic acids, alcohol and phenols groups, whichthe GC-MS analysis indicated were lipopeptide purified by hexadecanoic andtetradecanoic processes, respectively. The results show that the wastewater removal efficiency of 70% wasachieved within 24 h. In comparison, metagenomics was conducted during the treatment process to identify changes in the microbial load and diversity, which essentially indicatethe biosurfactant performance of the wastewater treatment process. The microbial load in the treated biosurfactant wastewater (84,374 sequences) was greatly decreased compared to untreated wastewater (139,568 sequences). It was concluded that B. safensis YKS2, producing a glycolipid form of biosurfactant, has possible benefits in the remediation of wastewater, and can be used for large-scale processing inbiosurfactant industries.

Abstract
This study aimed to produce and characterize biosurfactants using the Thermoanaerobacter sp. CM-CNRG TB177 strain isolated from an oil field in Mexico, as well as assessing the influence of different carbon and nitrogen sources on the capacity of the produced surfactant to reduce the surface tension of water. The thin-layer chromatography (TLC) revealed that the obtained extract corresponds to a mono-rhamnolipid; the results of the ultra-performance-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (UPLC/MS) analysis revealed that the Thermoanaerobacter sp. CM-CNRG TB177 strain produces a mixture of three rhamnolipids, whose masses correspond to mono-rhamnolipid. The rhamnolipids mixture obtained using 2.5% molasses as carbon source diminished the surface tension of water to 29.67 mNm-1, indicating that the concentration of molasses influenced the capacity of the produced surfactant to reduce the surface tension of water. Also, the microorganism was not capable of growing in the absence of yeast extract as nitrogen source. To the best of our knowledge, the presented results describe for the first time the nature of the biosurfactant produced by a bacterium of the Thermoanaerobacter genus.Key points• Thermoanaerobacter sp. CM-CNRG TB177 produces biosurfactants, and its glycolipid nature is described for the first time.• The HPLC analysis revealed a mixture of three rhamnolipid congeners, and UPLC/MS analysis determined that two of the congeners are the rhamnolipids Rha-C8-C10 and Rha-C12-C10.• The lowest surface tension of 29.67 mNm-1 was obtained with molasses as source of carbon at a 2.5% concentration.

Abstract
A major challenge in the biomedical field is the creation of materials and coating strategies that effectively limit the onset of biofilm-associated infections on medical devices. Biosurfactants are well known and appreciated for their antimicrobial/anti-adhesive/anti-biofilm properties, low toxicity, and biocompatibility. In this study, the rhamnolipid produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa 89 (R89BS) was characterized by HPLC-MS/MS and its ability to modify cell surface hydrophobicity and membrane permeability as well as its antimicrobial, anti-adhesive, and anti-biofilm activity against Staphylococcus aureus were compared to two commonly used surfactants of synthetic origin: Tween® 80 and TritonTM X-100. The R89BS crude extract showed a grade of purity of 91.4% and was composed by 70.6% of mono-rhamnolipids and 20.8% of di-rhamnolipids. The biological activities of R89BS towards S. aureus were higher than those of the two synthetic surfactants. In particular, the anti-adhesive and anti-biofilm properties of R89BS and of its purified mono- and di-congeners were similar. R89BS inhibition of S. aureus adhesion and biofilm formation was ~97% and 85%, respectively, and resulted in an increased inhibition of about 33% after 6 h and of about 39% after 72 h when compared to their chemical counterparts. These results suggest a possible applicability of R89BS as a protective coating agent to limit implant colonization.

Abstract
This review is the ninth update of the original article published in 1999 on the application of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry to the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2016. Also included are papers that describe methods appropriate to analysis by MALDI, such as sample preparation techniques, even though the ionization method is not MALDI. Topics covered in the first part of the review include general aspects such as theory of the MALDI process, matrices, derivatization, MALDI imaging, fragmentation and arrays. The second part of the review is devoted to applications to various structural types such as oligo- and poly-saccharides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycosides and biopharmaceuticals. Much of this material is presented in tabular form.

Abstract
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are among the leading nosocomial infections in the world and have led to the extensive study of various strategies to prevent infection. However, despite an abundance of anti-infection materials having been studied over the last forty-five years, only a few types have come into clinical use, providing an insignificant reduction in CAUTIs. In recent decades, marine resources have emerged as an unexplored area of opportunity offering huge potential in discovering novel bioactive materials to combat human diseases. Some of these materials, such as antimicrobial compounds and biosurfactants synthesized by marine microorganisms, exhibit potent antimicrobial, antiadhesive and antibiofilm activity against a broad spectrum of uropathogens (including multidrug-resistant pathogens) that could be potentially used in urinary catheters to eradicate CAUTIs. This paper summarizes information on the most relevant materials that have been obtained from marine-derived microorganisms over the last decade and discusses their potential as new agents against CAUTIs, providing a prospective proposal for researchers.

Abstract
The spread of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens typically existing in biofilm formation and the recent COVID-19 pandemic, although unrelated phenomena, have demonstrated the urgent need for methods to combat such increasing threats. New avenues of research for natural molecules with desirable properties to alleviate this situation have, therefore, been expanding. Biosurfactants comprise a group of unique and varied amphiphilic molecules of microbial origin capable of interacting with lipidic membranes/components of microorganisms and altering their physicochemical properties. These features have encouraged closer investigations of these microbial metabolites as new pharmaceutics with potential applications in clinical, hygiene and therapeutic fields. Mounting evidence has indicated that biosurfactants have antimicrobial, antibiofilm, antiviral, immunomodulatory and antiproliferative activities that are exploitable in new anticancer treatments and wound healing applications. Some biosurfactants have already been approved for use in clinical, food and environmental fields, while others are currently under investigation and development as antimicrobials or adjuvants to antibiotics for microbial suppression and biofilm eradication strategies. Moreover, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, biosurfactants are now being explored as an alternative to current products or procedures for effective cleaning and handwash formulations, antiviral plastic and fabric surface coating agents for shields and masks. In addition, biosurfactants have shown promise as drug delivery systems and in the medicinal relief of symptoms associated with SARS-CoV-2 acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Abstract
In the present investigation, we have evaluated the antibiofilm potential of Bacillus licheniformis SV1 derived glycolipid against C. glabrata biofilm. Impact of isolated glycolipid on the viability of C. glabrata and on inhibiting as well as eradicating ability of its biofilm were studied. Further, morphological alterations, reactive oxygen species generation (ROS) production and transcriptional expression of selected genes (RT-PCR) of C. glabrata in response with isolated glycolipid were studied. The isolated glycolipid (1.0 mg ml-1) inhibited and eradicated C. glabrata biofilm approximately 80% and 60%, respectively. FE-SEM images revealed glycolipid exposure results in architectural alteration and eradication of C. glabrata biofilm and ROS generation. Transcriptional studies of selected genes showed that the expression of AUS1, FKS1 and KRE1 were down-regulated, while that of ergosterol biosynthesis pathway and multidrug transporter increased, in the presence of glycolipid.

Abstract
Bio-surfactants are a principal group of significant molecules obtained from the microbial sources expressed with distinctive characteristics like biodegradation of hydrocarbons and also have different biomedical properties. The present investigation aims to assess the biomedical properties of synthesized bio-surfactant, rhamnolipid from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (DKB1) under in vitro conditions. The candidate bacterium P. aeruginosa (DKB1) was isolated from oil-polluted fishing harbors of Kanyakumari coast. Initially, the bio-surfactant production by this candidate strain was confirmed by oil displacement assay, hemolytic assay, drop collapse assay and emulsification index. Further, the production of bio-surfactant was achieved through submerged fermentation process using Bushnell-Haas mineral salts medium supplemented with 2% olive oil. The yield of the bio-surfactant was attained as 2.4 g/l and confirmed as rhamnolipid through blue agar plate assay; further, the extracted rhamnolipid was purified and characterized through standard procedures. In stability studies, the rhamnolipid could withstand up to pH 12, temperature 100 °C and 15% of NaCl concentration. The biomedical application of rhamnolipid (30 μg ml-1) was determined by antibacterial, antioxidant and cytotoxic studies. It exhibited a maximum growth inhibition against Bacillus subtilis (26 mm) with the MIC value of 8 μg ml-1. In antioxidant test, rhamnolipid expressed significant (P < 0.0001) inhibition of total reducing power (44.11%), DPPH activity (61.60%), hydroxyl radical (83.30%) and nitric oxide (51.86%) scavenging ability at 100 μg ml-1with the respective IC50 values of 130.50, 77.18, 52.08 and 95.43 μg ml-1. The anticancer activity of the rhamnolipid was assessed with the help of MTT test against MCF-7, HT-29 and E-143 cancer cell lines individually, and the viability of the cells was observed, respectively, as 10.24, 17.66 and 13.50% at 250 μg ml-1concentration with the respective IC50 values of 140.2, 81.02 and 138.9 μg ml-1. From the results, it could be concluded that the rhamnolipid produced by P. aeruginosa (DKB1) isolated from oil-polluted area has effective biomedical properties.

[PMID: 33045647 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2020.111480] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2020] [Revised: 09/14/2020] [Accepted: 09/29/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
A halotolerant strain CO100 of Staphylococcus sp. was isolated from contaminated sediments taken from the fishing harbour of Sfax, Tunisia, as an efficient hydrocarbonoclastic candidate. Strain CO100 exhibited a high capacity to break down almost 72% of the aliphatic hydrocarbons contained in crude oil (1%, v/v), used as the sole carbon and energy source, after 20 days of culture, at 100 g/l NaCl, 37 °C and 180 rpm. The isolate CO100 displayed also its ability to grow on phenanthrene, fluoranthene and pyrene (100 mg/l), at 100 g/l NaCl. Moreover, the isolate CO100 showed a notable aptitude to synthesize an efficient tensioactive agent namely BS-CO100, on low-value substrates including residual frying oil and expired milk powder, thus reducing the high cost of biosurfactant production. The ESI/MS analysis designated that BS-CO100 belonged to lipopeptide class, in particular lichenysin and iturine members. Critical micelle concentrations of BS-CO100 were varying between 65 and 750 mg/l, depending on of the purity of the biosurfactant and the used carbon sources. BS-CO100 showed a high steadiness against a wide spectrum of pH (4.3-12), temperature (4-121 °C) and salinity (0-300 g/l NaCl), supporting its powerful tensioactive properties under various environmental conditions. Likewise, BS-CO100 exhibited no cytotoxic effect toward human HEK293 cells, at concentrations within 125 and 1000 μg/ml. Furthermore, the biosurfactant BS-CO100 exhibited remarkable anti-adhesive and anti-biofilm activities, being able to avoid and disrupt the biofilm formation by certain pathogenic microorganisms. In addition, BS-CO100 was found to have more potential to remove hydrocarbons from contaminated soils, compared to some chemical surfactants. In light of these promising findings, strain CO100, as well as its biosurfactant, could be successfully used in different biotechnological applications including the bioremediation of oil-polluted areas, even under saline conditions.

Abstract
The present research aims to enhance the biosurfactant (BS) production using agricultural by-products as a low-cost substrate with the statistical approach. BS production from Bacillus subtilis SASCBT01 was carried out with four different variables such as pH, incubation time, cassava peel waste (CPW) and palmira sprout (PS). The model expected the highest emulsification activity of 65 ± 1·2% after 96-h incubation with 3·0 g l-1 of CPW and PS at pH 7·0. The SASCBT01 strain-based BS was successful at retrieving up to 18% and the highest Pb removal rates were found at 65%. These BS have considered high quality in bioremediation applications.

Abstract
Kitchen waste oil (KWO) was evaluated as a substrate for production of biosurfactant by Wickerhamomyces anomalus CCMA 0358 and was tested against Aedes aegypti larvae, the mosquito causing neglected diseases, such as dengue fever, Zika, and Chikungunya, achieving 100 % mortality in the lowest concentration (6.25 %) evaluated in 24 h. Furthermore, possible applications of this compound were evaluated as antibacterial, antiadhesive, and antifungal. At a concentration of 50 %, the biosurfactant was found to inhibit the growth of Bacillus cereus, showing high inhibitions levels against Salmonella Enteritidis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli. The antifungal activity was evaluated against Aspergillus, Cercospora, Colletotrichum, and Fusarium, obtaining results of up to 95 % inhibition. In addition to these promising results, the yeast W. anomalus produced the biosurfactant from an inexpensive substrate, which increases the possibility of its application in several industries owing to the low cost involved.

Valorization of xylose-rich hydrolysate from rice straw, an agroresidue, through biosurfactant production by the soil bacterium Serratia nematodiphila. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 729:138933. [PMID: 32371209 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.138933] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2020] [Revised: 04/20/2020] [Accepted: 04/21/2020] [Indexed: 05/26/2023]
Abstract
Biosurfactants, amphiphilic compounds that reduce interfacial tension in oil-aqueous mixtures, are used in the petroleum, pharmaceutical, food, and agriculture industries. Fermentative production of biosurfactants requires expensive sugar or lipid substrates. Lignocellulosic biomass is a relatively cheap and abundant agricultural residue that can be used as an alternative substrate. Currently, several million tonnes of rice and wheat straw are generated globally as agricultural residues, most of which is disposed by open-field burning thereby leading to severe environmental pollution. This study aimed to produce biosurfactants in xylose-rich hydrolysates generated from rice straw. The hydrolysate is also a byproduct of 2G biofuel processes that often goes underutilized. A soil bacterium capable of growing and producing biosurfactants in rice straw hydrolysates, which typically contain growth-inhibitory compounds such as furfural and hydroxymethyl furfural, was isolated. Interestingly, the organism, identified as Serratia nematodiphila, exhibited higher glycolipid formation (4.5 ± 0.6 gL-1) in xylose-rich hydrolysate than in glucose-rich enzymatic hydrolysate (3.1 ± 0.2 gL-1) despite the higher bacterial cell density observed with the latter. The biosurfactants were thermostable and possessed promising emulsifying property and anti-microbial activity against bacteria and yeast. Further optimization of C:N resulted in a 2.8-fold increase in glycolipid production from xylose-rich hydrolysates. This study demonstrates the production of glycolipid biosurfactants from lignocellulosic biomass, a low-cost substrate and offers a plausible strategy for the management of these residues. Further, it also provides insights into the generation of additional high-value compounds in a bioethanol biorefinery to improve its commercial feasibility.

Abstract
Hydrocarbon bioremediation in anoxic sediment layers is still challenging not only because it involves metabolic pathways with lower energy yields but also because the production of biosurfactants that contribute to the dispersion of the pollutant is limited by oxygen availability. This work aims at screening populations of culturable hydrocarbonoclastic and biosurfactant (BSF) producing bacteria from deep sub-seafloor sediments (mud volcanos from Gulf of Cadiz) and estuarine sub-surface sediments (Ria de Aveiro) for strains with potential to operate in sub-oxic conditions. Isolates were retrieved from anaerobic selective cultures in which crude oil was provided as sole carbon source and different supplements were provided as electron acceptors. Twelve representative isolates were obtained from selective cultures with deep-sea and estuary sediments, six from each. These were identified by sequencing of 16S rRNA gene fragments belonging to Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Ochrobactrum, Brevundimonas, Psychrobacter, Staphylococcus, Marinobacter and Curtobacterium genera. BSF production by the isolates was tested by atomized oil assay, surface tension measurement and determination of the emulsification index. All isolates were able to produce BSFs under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, except for isolate DS27 which only produced BSF under aerobic conditions. These isolates presented potential to be applied in bioremediation or microbial enhanced oil recovery strategies under conditions of oxygen limitation. For the first time, members of Ochrobactrum, Brevundimonas, Psychrobacter, Staphylococcus, Marinobacter and Curtobacterium genera are described as anaerobic producers of BSFs.

Abstract
The endophyte Burkholderia sp. WYAT7 isolated from the medicinal plant Artemisia nilagirica (Clarke) Pamp. was analyzed for its ability to produce biosurfactant. The evaluation of biosurfactant production was conducted using different screening methods which confirmed the presence of biosurfactant in the culture supernatant. CTAB- methylene blue agar plate method was used for the screening of glycolipid biosurfactant production. The biosurfactant produced by the bacteria effectively metabolized hydrocarbons present in the bacterial culture media. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic (FTIR) analysis of biosurfactant provided the details regarding OH stretching, stretching vibrations of acyl chain, CO stretching, stretching vibrations of ether and vibrations of glycosidic linkages in the biosurfactant. The stretching vibrations of glycosidic linkage in the fingerprint regions of FTIR spectrum (1200 cm-1 to 800 cm-1 regions) confirms that the biosurfactant produced was a glycolipid. The GC-MS analysis confirmed the methyl and ethyl esters of fatty acids. The biosurfactant from the bacteria exhibited antibacterial activity against bacterial pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MTCC 2453), Escherichia coli (MTCC 1610), Salmonella paratyphi and Bacillus subtilis. The glycolipid biosurfactant had antibiofilm activity as evidenced in Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC 1430). All these results indicated the beneficial effect of the biosurfactant in plant-endophyte interactions. The properties exhibited by the biosurfactant suggest that it can be exploited commercially for the production of novel antibiotics.

Rani M, Weadge JT, Jabaji S. Isolation and Characterization of Biosurfactant-Producing Bacteria From Oil Well Batteries With Antimicrobial Activities Against Food-Borne and Plant Pathogens. Front Microbiol 2020; 11:64.

Abstract
Microbial biosurfactants, produced by fungi, yeast, and bacteria, are surface-active compounds with emulsifying properties that have a number of known activities, including the solubilization of microbial biofilms. In an on-going survey to uncover new or enhanced antimicrobial metabolite-producing microbes from harsh environments, such as oil-rich niches, 123 bacterial strains were isolated from three oil batteries in the region of Chauvin, Alberta, and characterized by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Based on their nucleotide sequences, the strains are associated with 3 phyla (Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria and Firmicutes), as well as 17 other discrete genera that shared high homology with known sequences, with the majority of these strains identified to the species level. The most prevalent strains associated with the three oil wells belonged to the Bacillus genus. Thirty-four of the 123 strains were identified as biosurfactant-producers, among which Bacillus methylotrophicus strain OB9 exhibited the highest biosurfactant activity based on multiple screening methods and a comparative analysis with the commercially available biosurfactant, Tween 20. B. methylotrophicus OB9 was selected for further antimicrobial analysis and addition of live cultures of B. methylotrophicus OB9 (or partially purified biosurfactant fractions thereof) were highly effective on biofilm disruption in agar diffusion assays against several Gram-negative food-borne bacteria and plant pathogens. Upon co-culturing with B. methylotrophicus OB9, the number of either Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica Newport SL1 or Xanthomonas campestris B07.007 cells significantly decreased after 6 h and were not retrieved from co-cultures following 12 h exposure. These results also translated to studies on plants, where bacterized tomato seedlings with OB9 significantly protected the tomato leaves from Salmonella enterica Newport SL1 contamination, as evidenced by a 40% reduction of log10 CFU of Salmonella/mg leaf tissue compared to non-bacterized tomato leaves. When B. methylotrophicus 0B9 was used for bacterized lettuce, the growth of X. campestris B07.007, the causal agent of bacterial leaf spot of lettuce, was completely inhibited. While limited, these studies are noteworthy as they demonstrate the inhibition spectrum of B. methylotrophicus 0B9 against both human and plant pathogens; thereby making this bacterium attractive for agricultural and food safety applications in a climate where microbial-biofilm persistence is an increasing problem.

Abstract
The marine environment encompasses a huge biological diversity and can be considered as an underexplored location for prospecting bioactive molecules. In this review, the current state of art about antimicrobial molecules from marine bacteria has been summarized considering the main phylum and sources evolved in a marine environment. Considering the last two decades, we have found as most studied group of bacteria producers of substances with antimicrobial activity is the Firmicutes phylum, in particular strains of the Bacillus genus. The reason for that can be attributed to the difficult cultivation of typical Actinobacteria from a marine sediment, whose members are the major producers of antimicrobial substances in land environments. However, a reversed trend has been observed in recent years with an increasing number of reports settling on Actinobacteria. Great diversity of chemical structures have been identified, such as fijimicyns and lynamicyns from Actinomycetes and macrolactins produced by Bacillus.

Abstract
Biosurfactants comprise a wide array of amphiphilic molecules synthesized by plants, animals, and microbes. The synthesis route dictates their molecular characteristics, leading to broad structural diversity and ensuing functional properties. We focus here on low molecular weight (LMW) and high molecular weight (HMW) biosurfactants of microbial origin. These are environmentally safe and biodegradable, making them attractive candidates for applications spanning cosmetics to oil recovery. Biosurfactants spontaneously adsorb at various interfaces and self-assemble in aqueous solution, resulting in useful physicochemical properties such as decreased surface and interfacial tension, low critical micellization concentrations (CMCs), and ability to solubilize hydrophobic compounds. This review highlights the relationships between biosurfactant molecular composition, structure, and their interfacial behavior. It also describes how environmental factors such as temperature, pH, and ionic strength can impact physicochemical properties and self-assembly behavior of biosurfactant-containing solutions and dispersions. Comparison between biosurfactants and their synthetic counterparts are drawn to illustrate differences in their structure-property relationships and potential benefits. Knowledge of biosurfactant properties organized along these lines is useful for those seeking to formulate so-called green or natural products with novel and useful properties.

Abstract
Synthetic surfactants are becoming increasingly unpopular in many applications due to previously disregarded effects on biological systems and this has led to a new focus on replacing such products with biosurfactants that are biodegradable and produced from renewal resources. Microbially derived biosurfactants have been investigated in numerous studies in areas including: increasing feed digestibility in an agricultural context, improving seed protection and fertility, plant pathogen control, antimicrobial activity, antibiofilm activity, wound healing and dermatological care, improved oral cavity care, drug delivery systems and anticancer treatments. The development of the potential of biosurfactants has been hindered somewhat by the myriad of approaches taken in their investigations, the focus on pathogens as source species and the costs associated with large-scale production. Here, we focus on various microbial sources of biosurfactants and the current trends in terms of agricultural and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Four hundred and fifty bacteria were evaluated for antagonistic activity against bacterial soft rot of potato caused by Pectobacterium carotovorum sp strain II16. A strain Ar10 exhibiting potent antagonist activity has been identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens on the basis of biochemical and molecular characterization. Cell free supernatant showed a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity against human and phytopathogenic bacteria in the range of 10-60 AU/mL. Incubation of P. carotovorum cells with increasing concentrations of the antibacterial compound showed a killing rate of 94.8 and 96% at MIC and 2xMIC respectively. In addition, the antibacterial agent did not exert haemolytic activity at the active concentration and has been preliminary characterized by TLC and GC-MS as a glycolipid compound. Treatment of potato tubers with strain Ar10 for 72 h significantly reduced the severity of disease symptoms (100 and 85.05% reduction of necrosis deep / area and weight loss respectively). The same levels in disease symptoms severity was also recorded following treatment of potato tubers with cell free supernatant for 1 h. Data suggest that protection against potato soft rot disease may be related to glycolipid production by strain Ar10. The present study affords new alternatives for anti-Pectobacterium carotovorum bioactive compounds against the soft rot disease of potato.

Abstract
Surfactants and emulsifiers are surface-active compounds (SACs) which play an important role in various industrial processes and products due to their interfacial properties. Many of the chemical surfactants in use today are produced from non-renewable petrochemical feedstocks, while biosurfactants (BS) produced by microorganisms from renewable feedstocks are considered viable alternatives to petroleum based surfactants, due to their biodegradability and eco-friendly nature. However, some well-characterised BS producers are pathogenic and therefore, not appropriate for scaled-up production. Marine-derived BS have been found to be produced by non-pathogenic organisms making them attractive possibilities for exploitation in commercial products. Additionally, BS produced from marine bacteria may show excellent activity at extreme conditions (temperature, pH and salinity). Despite being non-pathogenic, marine-derived BS have not been exploited commercially due to their low yields, insufficient structural elucidation and uncharacterised genes. Therefore, optimization of BS production conditions in marine bacteria, characterization of the compounds produced as well as the genes involved in the biosynthesis are necessary to improve cost-efficiency and realise the industrial demands of SACs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this work was to isolate bacteria from Red Sea invertebrates, determine their antimicrobial activity, and screen for the biosynthetic gene clusters [polyketides (PKs) and nonribosomal peptides (NRPs)] which could be involved in the production of bioactive secondary metabolites. RESULT Eleven different samples of marine invertebrates' were collected from Egypt's Red Sea (El-Tor-Sharm El-Sheikh and Hurghada) by scuba diving, and a total 80 isolates of the associated microorganisms were obtained from the cultivation on six different cultural medium. Seven isolates of them showed an antimicrobial activity against five pathogenic reference strains, while the most active antimicrobial agent was isolate number HFF-8 which was 99% identical to Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. HFF-8's extract showed positive results against Gram negative bacteria, Gram positive bacteria and yeast. Moreover, the isolates gave positive bands when screened for the presence of PK synthase (PKS) I and II and NRP synthetase (NRPS) I and II biosynthetic genes, those biosynthetic fragments when cloned and sequenced were primitively predicted as biosynthetic fragments for kirromycin and leinamycin production by NaPDoS program with 56 and 55%, respectively. CONCLUSION The Red Sea can provide a sustainable solution to combat bacterial resistance. The contribution of this work is that B. amyloliquefaciens was isolated from Heteroxenia fuscescens, Red Sea, Egypt. Moreover, the bacterial extract showed a broad spectrum with a potent antimicrobial activity.

Abstract
In the present study, a biosurfactant producing Candida parapsilosis strain was isolated and identified by our laboratory. Different biosurfactant screening tests such as drop collapse, oil spreading, emulsification index and hemolytic activity confirmed the production of biosurfactant by the isolated Candida parapsilosis strain. The biosurfactant showed significant emulsifying index, drop collapse and oil-spread activity. The partially purified biosurfactant was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS). The FT-IR results indicated phenol (O-H), amide (N-H) and carbon functional group peaks like C[bond, double bond]O and C[bond, double bond]C at their identified places. GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of 13-docosenamide type of compound with a molecular weight of 337.5 g mol-1. The isolated biosurfactant showed significant antibacterial activity against pathogenic Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus strains at the concentrations of 10 and 5 mg ml-1 respectively. Growth inhibition of both Gram positive and Gram negative pathogenic strains designated the future prospect of exploring the isolated biosurfactant as broad spectrum antibacterial agent.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to isolate bacteria from sea grass, Halodule uninervis collected from the coastal area of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and to screen them for antifungal and enzymatic activities. We have isolated 162 rhizo and endophytic bacteria from soil, roots, and leaves of the sea grass. Antifungal screening of isolated bacteria revealed 19 strains (11.7%) capable to inhibit growth of four pathogenic fungi, Pythium ultimum, Phytophthora capsici, pyricularia oryzae, and Rhizoctonia solani in an in vitro assay. Taxonomic and phylogenetic analyses on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed 97-99.9% sequence identity to recognized species. Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Jeotgalicoccus, and Planococcus, within the Phylum Firmicutes, Kocuria, Arthrobacter, Ornithinimicrobium and Corynebacterium (Actinobacteria), Sulfitobacter, Roseivivax, Ruegeria (α-Proteobacteria), Moraxella, and Vibrio (γ-Proteobacteria), were isolated. Strains belong to Phylum Firmicutes remain dominant antagonistic bacteria in this study. Further hydrolytic enzyme production was determined for these antagonistic bacteria. Our results demonstrated that the sea grass represents an important source of diverse antagonistic bacteria capable of producing antifungal metabolite.

Abstract
The present study focuses on the optimization of biosurfactant (BS) production using two potential biosurfactant producer Pseudomonas stutzeri NA3 and Acinetobacter baumannii MN3 and role of enzymes in the biodegradation of crude oil. The optimal conditions for P. stutzeri NA3 and A. baumannii MN3 for biodegradation were pH of 8 and 7; temperature of 30 and 40 °C, respectively. P. stutzeri NA3 and A. baumannii MN3 produced 3.81 and 4.68 g/L of BS, respectively. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry confirmed that BS was mainly composed of fatty acids. Furthermore, the role of the degradative enzymes, alkane hydroxylase, alcohol dehydrogenase and laccase on biodegradation of crude oil are explained. Maximum biodegradation efficiency (BE) was recorded for mixed consortia (86%) followed by strain P. stutzeri NA3 (84%). Both bacterial strains were found to be vigorous biodegraders of crude oil than other biosurfactant-producing bacteria due to their enzyme production capabilities and our results suggests that the bacterial isolates can be used for effective degradation of crude oil within short time periods.

Abstract
Biosurfactants are microbial-derived amphiphilic molecules having hydrophobic and hydrophilic moieties produced by bacteria, fungi, yeasts and algae and are extracellular or cell wall-associated compounds. In an ongoing survey for bioactive microbial metabolites from microbes isolated from diverse ecological niches, a new lipopeptide biosurfactant was identified from a marine bacterium; Aneurinibacillus aneurinilyticus strain SBP-11, which was isolated from a marine diversity hotspot, Gulf of Mannar, India. A new lipopeptide biosurfactant was purified and characterized based on TLC, FT-IR, NMR, GC-MS, HPLC, MALDI-TOF-MS and tandem MS analysis as Stearic acid-Thr-Tyr-Val-Ser-Tyr-Thr (named as Aneurinifactin). The critical micelle concentration of Aneurinifactin was 26mgL-1 at a surface tension of 26mNm-1. Further, the biosurfactant showed stable emulsification at a wide range of pH (2-9) and temperature up to 80°C. Aneurinifactin showed promising antimicrobial activity and concentration dependent efficient oil recovery. This is the first report on Aneurinifactin, a lipopeptide biosurfactant produced by a marine A. aneurinilyticus SBP-11, which could be explored as a promising candidate for use in various biomedical and industrial applications.
