This project focuses on developing sustainable bio-surfactants and bio-emulsifiers derived from marine bacteria. By exploring over 500 bacterial strains, it aims to create eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic chemicals used across various industries, enhancing competitiveness and environmental safety.
Surfactants and emulsifiers constitute an important class of chemical agents that are widely used in almost every sector of modern industry.
The huge market demand is currently met almost exclusively by synthetic, mainly petroleum-based, chemical products, which are usually non-biodegradable and mostly toxic or GM plant based products (used in foods), which are undesirable by some end-users.
Their biologically produced counterparts (i.e. bio-surfactants and bio-emulsifiers) offer more green sust…
