  • Title: Surfactant activity of a naphthalene degrading Bacillus pumilus strain isolated from oil sludge.
    Author: Calvo C, Toledo FL, González-López J.
    Journal: J Biotechnol; 2004 Apr 29; 109(3):255-62. PubMed ID: 15066763.
    Abstract:
    We studied the growth, biosurfactant activities and petroleum hydrocarbon compounds utilisation of strain 28-11 isolated from a solid waste oil. The isolate was identified as Bacillus pumilus. It grew well in the presence of 0.1% (w/v) of crude oil and naphthalene under aerobic conditions and utilised these substances as carbon and energy source. The capacity of strain 28-11 to emulsify crude oil and its ability to remove hydrocarbons looks promising for its application in environmental technologies.
