Background: Cork oak (Quercus suber) is one of the rare trees with the ability to produce cork, a material widely used to make wine bottle stoppers, flooring and insulation materials, among many other uses. The molecular mechanisms of cork formation are still poorly understood, in great part due to the difficulty in studying a species with a long life-cycle and for which there is scarce molecular/genomic inform...
Microbial surfactants are amphipathic molecules produced by a variety of microorganisms that exhibit pronounced surface and emulsifying activities. Biosurfactants can replace synthetic surfactants in environmental and industrial applications, such as bioremediation and microbial enhanced oil recovery. Furthermore, some biosurfactants have been reported as suitable alternatives to synthetic medicines and antimic...
