“…Biosurfactants are amphipathic molecules with different degrees of polarity, which means they can be used to reduce surface tension, and to form emulsions where the hydrocarbon can be solubilized in water and is thus called a bioemulsifier [1,2]. …”

“…However, compounds of high molecular weight and capable of forming and stabilizing emulsions are referred to as bioemulsifiers or bioemulsans. These are polymers of polysaccharides, lipo-polysaccharides, proteins and lipoproteins while biosurfactants are represented by compounds of low molecular weight, amongst which lipopeptides and glycolipids are included [2,3,4]. …”

“…The streak plate method was applied under aseptic conditions. Inoculated Nutrient Agar was incubated at 30°C for 24 h. The growth of B. subtilis SA-6 on Nutrient Agar was used to inoculate 150 mL Nutrient Broth (Oxoid CM001, Hampshire, England) [16,17] in a 250 mL conical flask by swabbing a B. subtilis SA-6 colony, using a sterilised inoculum loop and mixing the loop in the fresh liquid Nutrient Broth. The inoculated liquid broth was incubated at 30°C for 24 h at 150 rpm.…”

“…Those assays considered the important properties of higher dispersion oil activity, lower surface tension of the tension active agent, and bioemulsification. According to Uzoigwe et al (2015), emulsification index test is a suitable screening method for detection of bioemulsifier producing microorganisms.…”
