Examples of emulsification in the following topics:

  • Aerobic Hydrocarbon Oxidation

    • Biosurfactants enhance the emulsification of hydrocarbons, have the potential to solubilize hydrocarbon contaminants, and increase their availability for microbial degradation.

  • Petroleum Biodegradation

    • It also possesses genes to direct the production of a layer of biosurfactant around the cell to enhance the oil emulsification.
