Biosurfactant Production by Halotolerant Rhodococcus fascians from Casey Station, Wilkes Land, Antarctica
Isolate A-3 from Antarctic soil in Casey Station, Wilkes Land, was characterized for growth on hydrocarbons. Use of glucose or kerosene as a sole carbon source in the culture medium favoured biosynthesis of su...
