Thermophilic Hydrocarbon-Utilizing Bacilli from Marine Shallow Hydrothermal Vents as Producers of Biosurfactants

The exploitation of thermophilic hydrocarbon-utilizing bacilli could provide novel environmentally friendly surfactants. In this work, 80 thermophilic bacilli isolated from shallow hydrothermal vents of the Eolian Islands (Italy) were screened for their ability to utilize hydrocarbons and produce bi...
