Mineralization of individual congeners of linear alkylbenzenesulfonate by defined pairs of heterotrophic bacteria
Article Abstract:
The two layered heterotrophic bacterial communities can corrupt the three linear alkylbenzenesulfonate (LAS) which are approximately 8 congeners out of the complete mixture of 20 congeners. The conclusion drawn is that the community mineralized the important sulfophenylcarboxylates (SPCs), which are obtained from 8 out of the 20 LAS congeners.

Biosurfactant production and surface translocation are regulated by PlcR in Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579 under low-nutrient conditions
Article Abstract:
The dendrite pattern is formed by Bacillus cereus that is promoted by low-nutrient conditions and is related to the production of a biosurfactant that is negatively affected in a strain with an active PlcR regulon. The studies have shown that the biosurfactant has hemolytic activity and has inhibited the growth of many gram-positive bacteria.

Influence of biosurfactants from probiotic bacteria on formation of biofilms on voice prostheses
Article Abstract:
The biofilms were formed on the voice protheses that were trained beforehand with biosurfactants procured from probiotic bacteria called lactococcus lactis 53 and streptococcus thermophilus A in a hypothetical throat model. This study indicates the existence of a policy, which ensures the elongated lifespan of voice protheses.
