Application of a Biosurfactant from Starmerella bombicola ATCC 22214 for the Removal of Hydrophobic Compounds from Contaminated Surfaces
Petroleum-derived hydrophobic pollutants represent a persistent environmental concern, highlighting the need for sustainable and efficient remediation technologies. In this study, a biosurfactant produced by the yeast Starmerella bombicola ATCC 22214 using glucose and glycerol as carbon sources was characterized and ev...
