Biosurfactants are surface-active agents produced by hydrocarbanoclastic bacteria isolated from oil contaminated sites. In the present study a potential oil degrading bacterium was isolated from Cuddalore harbor waters and identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa by using both biochemical and 16S rRNA sequencing. Growth optimization of the strain was done against varying physiochemical parameters v...

The sugar L-rhamnose (6-deoxy-~-mannose) is used as a fine chemical in scientific and industrial settings, as a component in chemical reactions, and as a starting material in the synthesis of organic compounds. Present methods for the commercial preparation of rhamnose require extraction of quercitrin from oak bark, naringin from citrus peels, or rutin (quercetin-3-rutinoside) from oak bark or ...
