Hearty congratulations to Balasubramanian Ramesh, HOD, and Balakrishnan Usharani, Technical Assistant, Department of Biotechnology, Sri Sankara Arts & Science College, for their recent publication, "Studies on Distribution of Biosurfactant Producing Bacteria in Contaminated and Undisturbed Soils of Kanchipuram" in 'Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences' in collaboration with researchers of Department of Biotechnology, University of Madras.
Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 4(9): 4429-4434, 2010ISSN 1991-8178
The main focus of the research paper to find out low toxicity and biodegradable surfactants from Indigenous bacteria for environmental cleanup. The present study is a preliminary demonstration that the Indian soils are rich in biosurfactant producing bacteria, and opens opportunities for systematic studies on their molecular characteristics of novel biosurfactants.
