| Abstract | ||||
| This study investigated the potential of biosurfactants for various applications. The research focused on Pseudomonas stutzeri strain ASWISA6, demonstrating its capability to produce biosurfactants with notable properties. The strain exhibited strong emulsification capabilities, significant surface tension reduction, and a satisfactory yield, indicating its potential for applications such as oil spill remediation, enhanced oil recovery, and industrial cleaning processes. Furthermore, the efficacy of these biosurfactants in removing oil from contaminated surfaces across different vessel types was confirmed. The environmental compatibility and high performance of the biosurfactants make them suitable for oil tank cleaning and related applications, with potential for further optimization and scale-up in industrial cleaning protocols. | ||||
