  • Title: [Biodegradation of surface-active substances of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus K-4].
    Author: Pyroh TP, Antoniuk SI, Sorokina AI.
    Journal: Mikrobiol Z; 2010; 72(1):28-33. PubMed ID: 20364713.
    Abstract:
    A capacity of microorganisms of different taxonomic groups to assimilate surface-active substances (surfactants) of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus K-4 as a single source of carbon and energy has been established. It was shown that A. calcoaceticus K-4 cannot use its own surfactants as a source of carbon nutrition. The use of biocide formalin in concentration of 0.1% permits to prolong the term of preservation of A. calcoaceticus K-4 surfactants to 3.5 months without a loss of their surfactant and emulsiying properties.
