Biosurfactants are amphiphilic compounds i.e., they contain both hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties which partitions preferentially at the interfaces such as liquid/liquid , gas/liquid or solid/liquid interfaces. This facilitates properties like emulsification, foaming, detergency and dispersing. Their low toxicity and eco-friendly nature and the wide range of potential Industrial applications in bioremediation, health care, food processing and oil industries makes them a highly useful group of chemical surfactants with respect to their biocompatibility,lower toxicity, higher...

Solid state fermentation (SSF) is a biomolecule synthesis process used in the nourishment, medicine, cosmetic, energy and material industries. These synthesized products are mostly metabolites spawned by microbes grown on a solid provision selected for this purpose. This technology for the culture of microbes is an potential alternative to liquefied or immersed fermentation, used principally for industrial purposes. Alpha amylase enzyme represents a group of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzyme which founds its application in variety of industrial sectors. The given book represents an useful study...

Textile-processing wastewaters, typically with higher content of dye which usually shows highly colored water and discharge in open water bodies, presents an aesthetic problem. As dyes are designed it is chemically and photolytically stable, they are highly persistent in natural environments. The release of dyes may therefore present an eco toxic hazard and introduces the potential danger of bio accumulation that may by transport through the food chain. These microbial strains were efficient dye resistant and had high dye decolorization potential, and could be exploited for the development...
