Abstract
The goal of the current work was to assess biosurfactant (BS) produced by marine fungal isolated from the contaminated site of El-max Bay, Egypt, for bioremediation of oil contaminated sea water. In this regard, the four biosurfactants assessment tests oil displacement (OD), emulsification index (E24), hemolysis tests, and surface tension (ST) were used to screen selected marine fungal isolates. By measuring 1.5cm oil displacement, E24 57%, hemolytic activity, and the highest surface tension 37.1mN/ m, Plectosphaerella cucumerina strain HBKB was considered as the most potent isolate for producing a highly active biosurfactant. To assess the factors influencing biosurfactant production from minimal salt medium (MSM), Plackett-Burman
期刊介绍:
The main focus of Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Biology and Fisheries is to publish peer-reviewed, original papers relating to the biology and ecology of fresh, brackish and marine wetlands. Papers on applied research in both fisheries and aquaculture are so encouraging. Preference will be given to studies that address timely and current topics such as impact of climate change and green economy. The aim of Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Biology and Fisheries is to provide a wide scope for the aquatic biologist and limnologist to address and evaluate fisheries issues related to processes and functioning at different levels (individuals, communities and ecosystems).
