are biosurfactants generated
from non-pathogenic microorganisms through
fermentation,
• are just as effective as
chemical or petroleum-based surfactants,
• are 100 percent
biodegradable
• there is a potential that
they will eventually substitute chemical surfactants as key
ingredients of various kinds of products.
• have properties that can
contribute to applications in many fields
In the field of research, Biotensidon carries out
studies with an aim
• to improve and optimize the applications of
rhamnolipids,
• to use their advantages to develop further products,
and
• to explore new application areas.
Effective surfactants, which reduce surface tension to 29 mN/m,
emulsify hydrocarbons, have high
foaming activity. CMC is 20-60 mg/l
Natural polymer with molecular weight 400-600 kDa. Alginate
plays key role in the formation of
supramolecular complex via adsorption of molecules of the
active compounds (rhamnolipids,
pyoverdine) on its surface due to hydrogen and Van der Waals
bonds
Polypeptide with chromophore fragment which has properties of
fluorescent pigment, siderophore,
antioxidant and plant elicitor
