Stability test of biosurfactant produced by Bacillus licheniformis DS1 using experimental design and its application for MEOR

Stability test of biosurfactant produced by Bacillus licheniformis DS1 using experimental design and its application for MEOR

Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) as a tertiary oil recovery technique is a biology-based method in which microbial metabolites and activities are used to improve the recovery of residual oil from depleted and marginal reservoirs. Biosurfactant is a microbial bioproduct that plays an important role in MEOR applications. In this study, Dr. Isty Adhitya Purwasena and colleagues investigated the stability of biosurfactant produced from Bacillus licheniformis DS1 using a design experiment based on response surface methodology, suggesting a high potential application for MEOR.
