Abstract
We report, for the first time, on the production of an emulsifying polymer produced by a Flexibacter species (designated strain TG382). This polymer, E-382,was produced extracellularly during growth of the organism in a marine broth amended with glucose. After cold ethanol precipitation, extensive dialysis […]

Abstract
Aims: To partially purify and characterize bioemulsifiers produced by two new marine Halomonas species, TG39 and TG67, and to compare their emulsifying activities with those of commercial emulsifiers. Methods and Results: The production of emulsifiers HE39 and HE67 was achieved from glucose-supplemented marine broth, and recovered […]

During screening for novel emulsifiers and surfactants, a marine alphaproteobacterium, Antarctobacter sp. TG22, was isolated and selected for its production of an extracellular emulsifying agent, AE22. This emulsifier was produced optimally in a low-nutrient seawater medium supplemented with glucose and was extractable by cold ethanol […]
