“…Crucial in determining Y. lipolytica's potential for bioremediation may be its capacity to produce biosurfactants; such biosurfactants may also be applied to enhance oil recovery, and in crude oil drilling, food processing and cosmetic formulations (Amaral et al, 2006;Trindade et al, 2008). Yarrowia lipolytica seems to produce a variety of different emulsifiers, for example Liposan isolated from cultures grown on hexadecane, Yansan from cultures grown on glucose or Rufisan from cultures grown on soybean oil refinery residue (Amaral et al, 2006;Cirigliano & Carman, 1985;Fontes et al, 2010;Rufino et al, 2011).…”
