| application of lipopeptide biosurfactant isolated from a halophile: bacillus tequilensis ch for inhibition of biofilm. | biosurfactants are amphiphilic molecules having hydrophobic and hydrophilic moieties produced by various microorganisms. these molecules trigger the reduction of surface tension or interfacial tension in liquids. a biosurfactant-producing halophile was isolated from lake chilika, a brackish water lake of odisha, india (19°41'39″n, 85°18'24″e). the halophile was identified as bacillus tequilensis ch by biochemical tests and 16s rrna gene sequencing and assigned accession no. kc851857 by genbank. ... | 2013 | 23955294 |
