Insights into the behavior of six rationally designed peptides based on Escherichia coli's OmpA at the water-dodecane interface.

The Escherichia coli's membrane protein OmpA has been identified as a potential biosurfactant due to their amphiphilic nature, and their capacity to stabilize emulsions of dodecane in water. In this study, the influence of surfactant type, concentration, preservation time and droplet size on th...
