Synthesis of biosurfactants and their advantages to microorganisms and mankind.
TLDR
Biosurfactant-enhanced solubility of pollutants has potential applications in bioremediation and is of vital importance to the microbes in adhesion, emulsification, bioavailability, desorption and defense strategy.
A limitation of the microtox® test for toxicity measurements of nonionic surfactants
The Microtox® test was successfully used to measure EC50 values of nonionic polyethoxylate surfactants. However, toxicity measurements of real samples that contain surfactants above a particular…
The effects of treated sewage effluent on three species of marine macroalgae
TLDR
It was found that sensitivity of test end points varied depending on exposure time, generally longer exposure times resulted in significantly lower threshold concentrations, whilst the shorter tests tended to produce higher threshold concentrations.
Liposan Production in the Self-Cycling Fermentor
Toxicity of laundry detergent components to a freshwater cladoceran and their contribution to detergent toxicity.
TLDR
The main contributors to the toxicity of detergents were the sodium silicate solution and the surfactants-with the remainder of the components contributing very little to detergent toxicity.

The Effects of Dispersants on Incorporation of Volatile Liquid Hydrocarbons into the Water Column
A study was conducted to assess the effect of dispersants on the incorporation of volatile liquid hydrocarbons (C/sub 5/-C/sub 14/) into the water column from surface oil slicks. A laboratory tank…
Toxicity assessment of industrial effluents from S. Paulo state, Brazil, using short‐term microbial assays
TLDR
Among the acute toxicity assays carried out in this study, the Microtox and S. volutans tests showed good sensitivity and general good agreement with the Daphnia similis assay, which demonstrates that these tests are potentially useful as toxicity indicators for the industrial effluents and receiving waters considered.

Toxic effect of water-soluble fractions of crude, refined, and weathered oils on the growth of a marine bacterium
TLDR
The water-soluble fractions of three crude and two refined oils reduced the growth rate and maximum cell density of the marine bacterium Serratia marinorubra grown in batch culture and were more toxic to S. marin orubra than were the parent unweathered oils.
