Microb Pathog 2024; 195:106855. [PMID: 39151739 DOI: 10.1016/j.micpath.2024.106855] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2024] [Revised: 07/24/2024] [Accepted: 08/13/2024] [Indexed: 08/19/2024]
Abstract
The present study evaluates the in-vitro antibiofilm activity against the biofilm formed by Staphylococcus aureus, and the wound-healing efficacy of two different types of rhamnolipids produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain JS29 in S.aureus infected wounds. The biosurfactant production was carried out in a mineral salt medium supplemented with 2 % Glucose and 2 % Glycerol individually and thus were designated as RL-Glu and RL-Gly respectively. 0.5 mg/ml of RL-Glu and RL-Gly demonstrated 90 % growth inhibition of S. aureus while exhibiting bactericidal activity at 4 mg/ml of RL-Glu and 1 mg/ml of RL-Gly. Both types of rhamnolipid cause changes in membrane permeability leading to pathogens' non-viability. 90 % inhibition of biofilm formation by S. aureus was observed at 2 mg/ml of RL-Glu and 0.5 mg/ml of RL-Gly, while 0.5 mg/ml of both rhamnolipid disrupted 90 % of the preformed biofilm. 0.5 mg/ml of RL-Glu and RL-Gly decreases the production of exopolysaccharides and also causes structural alteration. 0.5 mg/ml of RL-Glu and RL-Gly were found to exhibit effective wound healing efficacy in S. aureus infected wounds within 7 days of treatment. Histopathological studies of wound sites revealed efficient wound management by both the rhamnolipid. LCMS and GCMS characterization of the biosurfactant revealed that JS29 produces different rhamnolipid congeners when grown on different carbon sources, thereby influencing the antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and wound healing efficacy of rhamnolipid.

Abstract
The ability of cold-adapted bacteria to survive in extreme cold and diverse temperatures is due to their unique attributes like cell membrane stability, up-regulation of peptidoglycan biosynthesis, increased production of extracellular polymeric substances, and expansion of membrane pigment. Various cold-adapted proteins, including ice-nucleating proteins (INPs), antifreeze proteins (AFPs), cold shock proteins (Csps), and cold-acclimated proteins (CAPs), help the bacteria to survive in these environments. To sustain cells from extreme cold conditions and maintain stability in temperature fluctuations, survival strategies at the molecular level and their mechanism play significant roles in adaptations in cryospheric conditions. Furthermore, cold shock domains present in the multifunctional cold shock proteins play crucial roles in their adaptation strategies. The considerable contribution of lipopeptides, osmolytes, and membrane pigments plays an integral part in their survival in extreme environments. This review summarizes the evolutionary history of cold-adapted bacteria and their molecular and cellular adaptation strategies to thrive in harsh cold environments. It also discusses the importance of carotenoids produced, lipid composition, cryoprotectants, proteins, and chaperones related to this adaptation. Furthermore, the functions and mechanisms of adaptations within the cell are discussed briefly. One can utilize and explore their potential in various biotechnology applications and their evolutionary journey by knowing the inherent mechanism of their molecular and cellular adaptation to cold climatic conditions. This review will help all branches of the life science community understand the basic microbiology of psychrophiles and their hidden prospect in life science research.

Unlocking bioremediation potential for site restoration: A comprehensive approach for crude oil degradation in agricultural soil and phytotoxicity assessment. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 355:120508. [PMID: 38457896 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120508] [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: 12/08/2023] [Revised: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024]
Abstract
Crude oil contamination has inflicted severe damage to soil ecosystems, necessitating effective remediation strategies. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of four different techniques (biostimulation, bioaugmentation, bioaugmentation + biostimulation, and natural attenuation) for remediating agricultural soil contaminated with crude oil using soil microcosms. A consortium of previously characterized bacteria Xanthomonas boreopolis, Microbacterium schleiferi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Bacillus velezensis was constructed for bioaugmentation. The microbial count for the constructed consortium was recorded as 2.04 ± 0.11 × 108 CFU/g on 60 d in augmented and stimulated soil samples revealing their potential to thrive in chemically contaminated-stress conditions. The microbial consortium through bioaugmentation + biostimulation approach resulted in 79 ± 0.92% degradation of the total polyaromatic hydrocarbons (2 and 3 rings ∼ 74%, 4 and 5 rings ∼ 83% loss) whereas, 91 ± 0.56% degradation of total aliphatic hydrocarbons (C8-C16 ∼ 90%, C18-C28 ∼ 92%, C30 to C40 ∼ 88% loss) was observed in 60 d. Further, after 60 d of microcosm treatment, the treated soil samples were used for phytotoxicity assessment using wheat (Triticum aestivum), black chickpea (Cicer arietinum), and mustard (Brassica juncea). The germination rates for wheat (90%), black chickpea (100%), and mustard (100%) were observed in 7 d with improved shoot-root length and biomass in both bioaugmentation and biostimulation approaches. This study projects a comprehensive approach integrating bacterial consortium and nutrient augmentation strategies and underscores the vital role of innovative environmental management practices in fostering sustainable remediation of oil-contaminated soil ecosystems. The formulated bacterial consortium with a nutrient augmentation strategy can be utilized to restore agricultural lands towards reduced phytotoxicity and improved plant growth.

Abstract
Treatment of petroleum-contaminated soil to a less toxic medium via physical and chemical treatment is too costly and requires posttreatment. This review focuses on the employment of phytoremediation and mycoremediation technologies in cleaning hydrocarbon-contaminated soil which is currently rare. It is considered environmentally beneficial and possibly cost-effective as it implements the synergistic interaction between plants and biosurfactant producing mycorrhiza to degrade hydrocarbon contaminants. This review also covers possible sources of hydrocarbon pollution in water and soil, toxicity effects, and current technologies for hydrocarbon removal and degradation. In addition to these problems, this review also discusses the challenges and opportunities of transforming the resultant treated sludge and treating plants into potential by-products for a higher quality of life for future generations.

Abstract
Agriculture in the 21st century faces grave challenges to meet the unprecedented food demand of the burgeoning population as well as reduce the ecological footprint for achieving sustainable development goals. The extensive use of harsh synthetic surfactants in pesticides and the agrochemical industry has substantial adverse impacts on the soil and environment due to their toxic and non-biodegradable nature. Biosurfactants derived from plant, animal, and microbial sources can be an eco-friendly alternative to chemical surfactants. Microbes producing biosurfactants play a noteworthy role in biofilm formation, plant pathogen elimination, biodegradation, bioremediation, improving nutrient bioavailability, and can thrive well under stressful environments. Microbial biosurfactants are well suited for heavy metal and organic contaminants remediation in agricultural soil due to their low toxicity, high activity at fluctuating temperatures, biodegradability, and stability over a wide array of environmental conditions. This green technology will improve the agricultural soil quality by increasing the soil flushing efficiency, mobilization, and solubilization of nutrients by forming metal-biosurfactant complexes, and through the dissemination of complex nutrients. Such characteristics help it to play a pivotal role in environmental sustainability in the foreseeable future, which is required to increase the viability of biosurfactants for extensive commercial uses, making them accessible, affordable, and economically sustainable.

Abstract
Nitrate plays a crucial role in the high-efficient fermentation production of rhamnolipids (RLs). However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Firstly, by knocking out the restriction endonuclease PaeKI and utilizatiing the endogenous CRISPR-Cas-mediated single-plasmid recombineering system, a genome editing system for P. aeruginosa KT1115 has been established. Secondly, an engineered strain KT1115ΔpaeKIΔnirS was obtained with a 87% of reduction in nitric oxide (NO) accumulation and a 93% of reduction in RLs production, revealing the crucial role of NO signaling molecule produced from nitrate metabolism in RLs production. Finally, by combining metabolic engineering of the nitrate metabolism pathway with nitrogen feeding, a new two-stage fermentation process was developed. The fermentation production period was reduced from 168 h to 120 h while achieving a high yield of 0.8 g/g, and the average productivity increased by 55%. In all, this study provides a novel insights in the RLs biosynthesis and fermentation control strategy.

Abstract
"Save Soil Save Earth" is not just a catchphrase; it is a necessity to protect soil ecosystem from the unwanted and unregulated level of xenobiotic contamination. Numerous challenges such as type, lifespan, nature of pollutants and high cost of treatment has been associated with the treatment or remediation of contaminated soil, whether it be either on-site or off-site. Due to the food chain, the health of non-target soil species as well as human health were impacted by soil contaminants, both organic and inorganic. In this review, the use of microbial omics approaches and artificial intelligence or machine learning has been comprehensively explored with recent advancements in order to identify the sources, characterize, quantify, and mitigate soil pollutants from the environment for increased sustainability. This will generate novel insights into methods for soil remediation that will reduce the time and expense of soil treatment.

Abstract
The increasing population has raised the demand for pharmaceutical and personal care products to maintain a good health. Gemfibrozil (GEM), is extensively used as a lipid regulator and is frequently detected in wastewater treatment systems and poses deleterious health and ecological effects. Hence, the current study employing Bacillus sp. N2 reports the degradation of gemfibrozil via co-metabolism in 15 days. The study reported 86 % degradation with GEM (20 mgL-1) using sucrose (150 mgL-1) as a co-substrate; as compared to 42 % without a co-substrate. Further, time-profiling studies of metabolites revealed significant demethylation and decarboxylation reactions during degradation that leads to formation of six (M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6) metabolites as by-products. Based on the LC-MS analysis a potential degradation pathway for GEM by Bacillus sp. N2 was proposed. The degradation of GEM has not been reported so far and the study envisages eco-friendly approach to tackle pharmaceutical- active- compounds.

[PMID: 36766099 PMCID: PMC9914285 DOI: 10.3390/foods12030570] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2022] [Revised: 01/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/25/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
This study evaluates the combination of mild heat with a natural surfactant for the inactivation of L. monocytogenes Scott A in low-water-activity (aw) model systems. Glycerol or NaCl was used to reduce the aw to 0.92, and different concentrations of rhamnolipid (RL) biosurfactant were added before heat treatment (60 °C, 5 min). Using glycerol, RL treatment (50-250 µg/mL) reduced bacterial population by less than 0.2 log and heat treatment up to 1.5 log, while the combination of both hurdles reached around 5.0 log reduction. In the NaCl medium, RL treatment displayed higher inactivation than in the glycerol medium at the same aw level and a larger synergistic lethal effect when combined with heat, achieving ≥ 6.0 log reduction at 10-250 µg/mL RL concentrations. The growth inhibition activity of RL was enhanced by the presence of the monovalent salts NaCl and KCl, reducing MIC values from >2500 µg/mL (without salt) to 39 µg/mL (with 7.5% salt). The enhanced antimicrobial activity of RL promoted by the presence of salts was shown to be pH-dependent and more effective under neutral conditions. Overall, results demonstrate that RL can be exploited to design novel strategies based on hurdle approaches aiming to control L. monocytogenes.

The Influence of Hydrodynamic Conditions in a Laboratory-Scale Bioreactor on Pseudomonas aeruginosa Metabolite Production. Microorganisms 2022; 11:microorganisms11010088. [PMID: 36677380 PMCID: PMC9866481 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11010088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 12/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Hydrodynamic conditions are critical in bioprocessing because they influence oxygen availability for cultured cells. Processes in typical laboratory bioreactors need optimization of these conditions using mixing and aeration control to obtain high production of the desired bioproduct. It could be done by experiments supported by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling. In this work, we characterized parameters such as mixing time, power consumption and mass transfer in a 2 L bioreactor. Based on the obtained results, we chose a set of nine process parameters to test the hydrodynamic impact on a selected bioprocess (mixing in the range of 0-160 rpm and aeration in the range of 0-250 ccm). Therefore, we conducted experiments with P. aeruginosa culture and assessed how various hydrodynamic conditions influenced biomass, pyocyanin and rhamnolipid production. We found that a relatively high mass transfer of oxygen (kLa = 0.0013 s-1) connected with intensive mixing (160 rpm) leads to the highest output of pyocyanin production. In contrast, rhamnolipid production reached maximal efficiency under moderate oxygen mass transfer (kLa = 0.0005 s-1) and less intense mixing (in the range of 0-60 rpm). The results indicate that manipulating hydrodynamics inside the bioreactor allows control of the process and may lead to a change in the metabolites produced by bacterial cells.

Abstract
In this study, the effect of rhamnolipids (RL) on m-dichlorobenzene (m-DCB) removal and biofilm was investigated in two biotrickling filters (BTF) (BTF1: blank control; BTF2: RL addition). The critical micelle concentration (CMC) value of RL was 75.6 mg L-1, and the RL could significantly improve the solubilization of m-DCB. The results showed that the optimal concentration of RL was 180 mg L-1. The removal efficiency (RE) of m-DCB dropped by 42.4% for BTF1 no fed with RL and only 28.2% for BTF2 fed with RL when the inlet concentration increased from 200 to 1400 mg m-3 at an empty bed time (EBRT) of 60 s. RL increased the secretion of extracellular polymers (EPS) and the ratio of Protein/Polysaccharide, which improved the mass transfer of m-DCB to the biofilm. RL also had a facilitating effect on catechol-1,2-dioxygenase (C12O) enzyme activity. Furthermore, RL increased Zeta potential and facilitated microorganisms to form biofilm. The dominant microorganisms of microbial community were increased and the application of RL promoted the enrichment of them.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2022; 106:7477-7489. [PMID: 36222896 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-022-12225-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2022] [Revised: 09/29/2022] [Accepted: 10/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
The agro-industrial by-products corn steep liquor (CSL) and olive mill wastewater (OMW) were evaluated as low-cost substrates for rhamnolipid production by Burkholderia thailandensis E264. In a culture medium containing CSL (7.5% (v/v)) as sole substrate, B. thailandensis E264 produced 175 mg rhamnolipid/L, which is about 1.3 times the amount produced in the standard medium, which contains glycerol, peptone, and meat extract. When the CSL medium was supplemented with OMW (10% (v/v)), rhamnolipid production further increased up to 253 mg/L in flasks and 269 mg/L in a bioreactor. Rhamnolipids produced in CSL + OMW medium reduced the surface tension up to 27.1 mN/m, with a critical micelle concentration of 51 mg/L, better than the values obtained with the standard medium (28.9 mN/m and 58 mg/L, respectively). However, rhamnolipids produced in CSL + OMW medium displayed a weak emulsifying activity when compared to those produced in the other media. Whereas di-rhamnolipid congeners represented between 90 and 95% of rhamnolipids produced by B. thailandensis E264 in CSL and the standard medium, the relative abundance of mono-rhamnolipids increased up to 55% in the culture medium containing OMW. The difference in the rhamnolipid congeners produced in each medium explains their different surface-active properties. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of rhamnolipid production by B. thailandensis using a culture medium containing agro-industrial by-products as sole ingredients. Furthermore, rhamnolipids produced in the different media recovered around 60% of crude oil from contaminated sand, demonstrating its potential application in the petroleum industry and bioremediation. KEY POINTS: • B. thailandensis produced RL using agro-industrial by-products as sole substrates • Purified RL displayed excellent surface activity (minimum surface tension 27mN/m) • Crude RL (cell-free supernatant) recovered 60% of crude oil from contaminated sand.

Abstract
Increasing petroleum consumption and a rise in incidental oil spillages have become global concerns owing to their aquatic and terrestrial toxicity. Various physicochemical and biological treatment strategies have been studied to tackle them and their impact on environment. One of such approaches in this regard is the use of microbial processes due to their being "green" and also apparent low cost and high effectiveness. This review presents the advancement in the physical and biological remediation methods and their progressive efficacy if employed in combination of hybrid modes. The use of biosurfactants and/or biochar along with microbes seems to be a more effective bioremediation approach as compared to their individual effects. The lacuna in research at community or molecular level has been overcome by the recent introduction of "-omics" technology in hydrocarbon degradation. Thus, the review further focuses on presenting the state-of-art information on the advancement of petroleum bioremediation strategies and identifies the research gaps for achieving total mitigation of petroleum oil.

Abstract
The global rise in industrialization and vehicularization has led to the increasing trend in the use of different crude oil types. Among these mobil oil has major application in automobiles and different machines. The combustion of mobil oil renders a non-usable form that ultimately enters the environment thereby causing problems to environmental health. The aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon fraction of mobil oil has serious human and environmental health hazards. These components upon interaction with soil affect its fertility and microbial diversity. The recent advancement in the omics approach viz. metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and metaproteomics has led to increased efficiency for the use of microbial based remediation strategy. Additionally, the use of biosurfactants further aids in increasing the bioavailability and thus biodegradation of crude oil constituents. The combination of more than one approach could serve as an effective tool for efficient reduction of oil contamination from diverse ecosystems. To the best of our knowledge only a few publications on mobil oil have been published in the last decade. This systematic review could be extremely useful in designing a micro-bioremediation strategy for aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems contaminated with mobil oil or petroleum hydrocarbons that is both efficient and feasible. The state-of-art information and future research directions have been discussed to address the issue efficiently.

Abstract
AIM To isolate the slow-growing or viable but non-culturable competitive exclusion (CE) microorganisms from composts and then verify the anti-Listeria monocytogenes activities of those CE isolates in compost. METHODS AND RESULTS CE strains were isolated from composts using double- or triple-layer agar methods, purified, and then characterized. Both compost extracts and solid compost samples were spiked with a cocktail of 3 L. monocytogenes strains which were co-inoculated with or without CE strain cocktail and incubated at both 22°C and 35°C for 168 h. Results indicated that the addition of resuscitation promoting factor (Rpf) promoted the growth of slow-growing species from composts. About 50% of the isolated CE strains (n=40) were identified as Bacillus spp., 17 strains can inhibit more than ten tested L. monocytogenes strains, and 9 strains were motile and competitive biofilm formers. In compost extracts, the growth potentials of L. monocytogenes were reduced up to 2.2 logs when co-culturing with CE strains. In compost samples, the addition of CE strains reduced L. monocytogenes population by ca. 1.3 log CFU/g at 22°C after 24 to 168 h incubation. CONCLUSION Our modified double/triple-layer agar procedure with Rpf as growth supplement coupled with spot-on-lawn testing can be a quick and efficient method for isolating CE candidates from composts. The efficacy of CE strains against L. monocytogenes in compost extracts and compost samples was affected by compost type, nutrient level, and incubation temperature. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Compost is a rich source of CE microorganisms and compost-adapted CE microorganisms have the potential as a biological agent to control L. monocytogenes in agricultural environments.

Abstract
Majority of industries, in order to meet the technological development and consumer demands generate waste. The untreated waste spreads out toxic and harmful substances in the environment which serves as a breeding ground for pathogenic microorganisms thus causing severe health hazards. The three industrial sectors namely food, agriculture, and oil industry are among the primary organic waste producers that affect urban health and economic growth. Conventional treatment generates a significant amount of greenhouse gases which further contributes to global warming. Thus, the use of microbes for utilization of this waste, liberating CO2 offers an indispensable tool. The simultaneous production of value-added products such as bioplastics, biofuels, and biosurfactants increases the economics of the process and contributes to environmental sustainability. This review comprehensively summarized the composition of organic waste generated from the food, agriculture, and oil industry. The linkages between global health hazards of industrial waste and environmental implications have been uncovered. Stare-of-the-art information on their subsequent utilization as a substrate to produce value-added products through bio-routes has been elaborated. The research gaps, economical perspective(s), and future research directions have been identified and discussed to strengthen environmental sustainability.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 806:150347. [PMID: 34563898 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.150347] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2021] [Revised: 09/07/2021] [Accepted: 09/10/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Rhamnolipid (RL), as an environmentally compatible biosurfactant, has been used to enhance waste activated sludge (WAS) fermentation. However, the effect of RL on hydrogen accumulation in anaerobic fermentation remains unclear. Therefore, this work targets to investigate the mechanism of RL-based dark fermentation system on hydrogen production of WAS. It was found that the maximum yield of hydrogen increased from 1.76 ± 0.26 to 11.01 ± 0.30 mL/g VSS (volatile suspended solids), when RL concentration increased from 0 to 0.10 g/g TSS (total suspended solids). Further enhancement of RL level to 0.12 g/g TSS slightly reduced the production to 10.80 ± 0.28 mL/g VSS. Experimental findings revealed that although RL could be degraded to generate hydrogen, it did not play a major role in enhancing hydrogen accumulation. Mechanism analysis suggested that RL decreased the surface tension between sludge liquid and hydrophobic compounds, thus accelerating the solubilization of WAS, improving the proportion of biodegradable substances which could be used for subsequent hydrogen production. Regardless of the fact that adding RL suppressed all the fermentation processes, the inhibition effect of processes associated with hydrogen consumption was much severer than that of hydrogen production. Further investigations of microbial community revealed that RL enriched the relative abundance of hydrogen producers e.g., Romboutsia but reduced that of hydrogen consumers like Desulfobulbus and Caldisericum.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:782. [PMID: 35055609 PMCID: PMC8776024 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19020782] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2021] [Revised: 01/03/2022] [Accepted: 01/06/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
One cold-adapted strain, named Planococcus sp. XW-1, was isolated from the Yellow Sea. The strain can produce biosurfactant with petroleum as sole source of carbon at low temperature (4 °C). The biosurfactant was identified as glycolipid-type biosurfactant species by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). It reduced the surface tension of water to 26.8 mN/m with a critical micelle concentration measurement of 60 mg/L. The produced biosurfactant possesses high surface activity at wide ranges of temperature (-18-105 °C), pH values (2-12), and salt concentrations (1-18%). The biosurfactant exhibited higher surface activity and higher growth rate of cells with hexadecane and diesel as carbon source. The strain Planococcus sp. XW-1 was also effective in degrading crude oil, after 21 days of growth at 4 °C in medium with 1% crude oil and 1% (v/v) bacteria broth, 54% of crude oil was degraded. The results suggest that Planococcus sp. XW-1 is a promising candidate for use in the bioremediation of petroleum-contaminated seawater in the Yellow Sea during winter. This study reported for the first time that Planococcus isolated from the Yellow Sea can produce biosurfactant using petroleum as the sole carbon source at low temperature (4 °C), showing its ecological role in the remediation of marine petroleum pollution.

Abstract
In the face of new emerging respiratory viruses, such as SARS-CoV2, vaccines and drug therapies are not immediately available to curb the spread of infection. Non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as mask-wearing and social distance, can slow the transmission. However, both mask and social distance have not prevented the spread of respiratory viruses SARS-CoV2 within the US. There is an urgent need to develop an intervention that could reduce the spread of respiratory viruses. The key to preventing transmission is to eliminate the emission of SARS-CoV2 from an infected person and stop the virus from propagating in the human population. Rhamnolipids are environmentally friendly surfactants that are less toxic than the synthetic surfactants. In this study, rhamnolipid products, 222B, were investigated as disinfectants against enveloped viruses, such as bovine coronavirus and herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1). The 222B at 0.009% and 0.0045% completely inactivated 6 and 4 log PFU/mL of HSV-1 in 5–10 min, respectively. 222B at or below 0.005% is also biologically safe. Moreover, 50 μL of 222B at 0.005% on ~1 cm2 mask fabrics or plastic surface can inactivate ~103 PFU HSV-1 in 3–5 min. These results suggest that 222B coated on masks or plastic surface can reduce the emission of SARS-CoV2 from an infected person and stop the spread of SARS-CoV2.

Abstract
Surfactants are multipurpose products found in most sectors of contemporary industry. Their large-scale manufacturing has been mainly carried out using traditional chemical processes. Some of the chemical species involved in their production are considered hazardous and some industrial processes employing them categorised as "having potential negative impact on the environment". Biological surfactants have therefore been generally accepted worldwide as suitable sustainable greener alternatives. Biosurfactants exhibit the same functionalities of synthetic analogues while having the ability to synergize with other molecules improving performances; this strengthens the possibility of reaching different markets via innovative formulations. Recently, their use was suggested to help combat Covid-19. In this review, an analysis of recent bibliography is presented with descriptions, statistics, classifications, applications, advantages, and challenges; evincing the reasons why biosurfactants can be considered as the chemical specialities of the future. Finally, the uses of the solid-state fermentation as a production technology for biosurfactants is presented.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative bacterium responsible for the development of gastric diseases. The issue of spreading antibiotic resistance of H. pylori and its limited therapeutic options is an important topic in modern gastroenterology. This phenomenon is greatly associated with a very narrow range of antibiotics used in standard therapies and, as a consequence, an alarmingly high detection of multidrug-resistant H. pylori strains. For this reason, scientists are increasingly focused on the search for new substances that will not only exhibit antibacterial effect against H. pylori, but also potentiate the activity of antibiotics. The aim of the current review is to present scientific reports showing newly discovered or repurposed compounds with an ability to enhance the antimicrobial activity of classically used antibiotics against H. pylori. To gain a broader context in their future application in therapies of H. pylori infections, their antimicrobial properties, such as minimal inhibitory concentrations and minimal bactericidal concentrations, dose- and time-dependent mode of action, and, if characterized, anti-biofilm and/or in vivo activity are further described. The authors of this review hope that this article will encourage the scientific community to expand research on the important issue of synergistic therapies in the context of combating H. pylori infections.
