Abstract

    Natural resources as a substitute energy source in recent technological advancements have resulted in the production of biosurfactants. In order to reduce production costs and maximise yield, the current work replaces expensive yeast extract with less expensive substrates and optimises temperature, pH, and agitation. Pseudomonas putida SOL10 produced biosurfactants using a variety of substrates, s... Details

Abstract

    This article offers a deep analysis of activating streptokinase which looks into the biotechnological challenges and future perspectives. One of the main problems associated with streptokinase is its short half-life, complex production process, and immunogenicity which hinders patients from getting a successful reperfusion. Yet, the development of biotechnology methods that would not face these dr... Details
