Bact Channels
Bacteria grow in sprawling communities – as individual cells divide, so the overall colony grows. The plucky prokaryotes share chemicals with their neighbours, often feeding growth into stubborn biofilms that are difficult to disrupt. Here researchers find another clue to survival in the colony – canals. Pictured under a microscope, this colony of Pseudomonas aeruginosa develops channels (blue) sloshing fluids along each exploratory arm of the colony as it sprawls out. Researchers find that biosurfactant chemicals made by the bacteria help to lower surface tension in the channels, allowing them to send chemical packages called vesicles, or even to travel themselves, like barges on a canal (but 100 million times smaller). The team saw this long-range transport – a form of the Marangoni effect – even in bacteria without hair-like flagella often used to waft chemicals around. Further studies may allow researchers to develop new compounds to break disease-causing colonies apart.

Screening of Biosurfactant-producing Bacteria from Symbiotic Microbes with Gastropods in the Persian Gulf
https://rbes.rovedar.com/article_160292.html
Introduction: Biosurfactants or surface-active compounds with amphiphilic molecular structures, including a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic domain, are produced by microorganisms. These compounds increase the biodegradation of hydrocarbons in the environment due to their ability to emulsify hydrocarbon-water mixtures. This study was conducted to isolate and characterize biosurfactant-producing bacteria from the samples of Gastropods.
Materials and Methods: The gastropod samples were collected from oil-contaminated sites in the Persian Gulf, Middle East. Biosurfactant-producing strains were isolated from these samples. The biosurfactant production ability was analyzed using Drop Collapse TEST, oil spreading test, emulsification activity test, and BATH test.
Results: In total, 11 biosurfactant-producing strains were isolated. Two isolates with higher growth rates and biosurfactant production ability were selected for further studies. The best isolates were identified as Halomonas sp. isolate BHA16 and Vibrio alginolyticus isolate BHA 17 based on molecular analysis. Gas chromatography analysis of remaining crude oil confirmed that these strains could degrade to 51.44 % and 67.58% of crude oil, respectively.
Conclusion: The results of this study indicated the surfactant activity of the bacterial strains isolated from Gastro pods had a good potential for the biodegradation of crude oil and could be used for the cleanup of oil-contaminated marine environments.

Cleaner washing: new Ceresana report on the global market for biobased surfactants
Biotechnology for the bathroom: Household cleaners and creams are increasingly being produced using bacteria and fungi, more specifically the ingredients rhamnolipids and sophorolipids. But microorganisms in bioreactors are not necessarily the answer – traditional natural detergents are also being rediscovered, such as horse chestnuts or soap nuts. Surfactants are among the first everyday chemical products that are already being produced in large quantities not from petroleum but from renewable raw materials. Ceresana has studied the global market for surfactants produced in whole or in part from renewable biomass, i.e. based on sugar, fatty alcohol from vegetable oils or other biogenic material. The new market study forecasts that bio-based surfactants will reach global sales of around USD 34 billion by 2032. In North America and Europe, the market researchers expect growth of more than 3%, and in other regions of the world even more than 6%.

Can biosurfactants increase microbiological oil degradation in North Sea seawater? An international research team from the universities of Stuttgart und Tübingen, together with the China West Normal University and the University of Georgia, have been exploring this question and the results have revealed the potential for a more effective and environmentally friendly oil spill response.
Oil leaks into the oceans are estimated at approximately 1500 million liters annually worldwide. This leads to globally significant environmental pollution, as oil contains hazardous compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that can have toxic or mutagenic effects on organisms. Oil spills, particularly catastrophic ones resulting in the rapid release of large quantities of oil into the oceans, such as tanker accidents or incidents at oil drilling platforms like Deepwater Horizon in 2010, are especially devastating.
In such oil spill incidents, large quantities of chemical dispersants, ranging in the millions of liters depending on the amount of oil, are routinely applied to dissolve oil slicks, prevent oil from reaching coastlines, and enhance oil dispersion in the water. The hope is that microbial oil degradation will be enhanced as a result. This is because special microorganisms that are widespread in nature can feed on crude oil components and break them down into harmless substances. This special ability of microbes naturally cleans oil-contaminated areas.

Surfactants: The Key Players in Controlling Foam and Emulsion in Oilfield Operations
Surfactants, or surface-active agents, are chemicals used to efficiently mix different substances by lowering their surface tension. Imperial Oilfield Chemicals is a leading Surfactant manufacturer in India. These versatile chemicals have several applications, including the oil and gas business, the pharmaceutical industry, the agricultural industry, and the personal care industry. Imperial Oilfield Chemicals is unparalleled in its ability to manufacture surfactants.
Types of Surfactants:
In order to maximise oil recovery and streamline other processes, surfactants are an integral aspect of the oilfield. These surfactants fall into various groups due to their varied chemical compositions and applications. The following surfactants are commonly used in the oil and gas industry:
Anionic Surfactants
Cationic Surfactants
Nonionic Surfactants
Amphiphilic Surfactants
Biosurfactants
Synergistic Surfactant Blends
When choosing a surfactant for a particular oilfield operation, keep in mind the reservoir's characteristics, the fluid's composition, and the desired outcomes. A seasoned Surfactant supplier in Morocco, like Imperial Oilfield Chemicals, can provide the technical expertise and industry knowledge necessary to meet the needs of the oil and gas sector.
The Role of Surfactants in Oilfield Operations?
Surfactants have various applications in the oil industry and can considerably improve efficiency, oil recovery, and the quality of the final product. As a noteworthy Surfactant manufacturer in India, Imperial Oilfield Chemicals understands the importance of these compounds to the oil and gas industries.
Surfactants are helpful in the oil business because they reduce the interfacial tension between oil, water, and solid surfaces. The efficiency with which oil is displaced from reservoir rocks is increased. By decreasing interfacial tension, surfactants allow water-based fluids to effectively penetrate and sweep across the reservoir, mobilisation stored oil.
Imperial Oilfield Chemicals is a trusted Surfactant exporter in Morocco. Their choice of surfactants facilitates efficient oil-water separation, inhibits corrosion, and stabilises emulsions.
Advantages of using Surfactants in Oilfield Operations:
The oil and gas industry uses surfactants because of the many advantages they bring to oilfield operations. Surfactant exporter in Morocco, Imperial Oilfield Chemicals, is well aware of these benefits and produces high-quality surfactants to meet the expectations of the industry worldwide.
The ability of surfactants to reduce the tackiness of oil, water, and solids is a major perk. Oil can be recovered more efficiently from reservoir rocks due to its high grade. More oil can be retrieved from the ground when surfactants are used to increase reservoir penetration and sweep.
Additionally, surfactants stabilise emulsions, which facilitates the separation of oil and water. This is especially helpful in oil-water separation and demulsification, where surfactants facilitate the attainment of clean and separated phases.
Wetting agents, such as surfactants, let drilling fluids better adhere to reservoir rocks. This attribute improves drilling productivity, reduces the frequency of issues like pipe sticking, and fortifies wellbore stability.
The Key Players in Controlling Foam and Emulsion in Oilfield Operations:
Imperial Oilfield Chemicals, a leading Surfactant manufacturer in India and a reliable Surfactant exporter and supplier in Morocco offers efficient methods for controlling foam and emulsion in oil production.
Foam Control: Surfactants can be used to control foam because they reduce surface tension and make foam bubbles less stable. When surfactants are introduced into a foaming system, a thin layer forms at the air-liquid interfaces, disrupting the integrity of the bubbles.
Emulsion Control: By altering the interfacial properties of the oil and water, surfactants control the emulsion. Adsorption can reduce the interfacial tension between the oil and water, preventing the formation of stable emulsion droplets. Destabilising the emulsion with surfactants allows the oil and water phases to agglomerate and separate.
Innovative surfactants from Imperial Oilfield Chemicals can be used to control foam and emulsion, leading to greater production efficiency, less equipment downtime, and better overall operational performance. Premium goods are always on hand at Imperial Oilfield Chemicals so that they can meet the needs of the Moroccan oil and gas industry.
Final Thoughts:
Surfactants are the oil industry's unsung heroes because of their role in controlling foam and emulsion. Their unique qualities and roles cause a reduction in surface tension, a destabilisation of foam bubbles, and a modification of the interfacial properties of oil and water. Because of Imperial Oilfield Chemicals' status as a major Surfactant manufacturer in India, the oil and gas industry in Morocco has profited from the company's specific surfactant solutions.
Modern surfactants from Imperial Oilfield Chemicals (ICPL) improve oil and water separation, reduce foam, and improve fluid flow for oilfield firms. Since the capacity of surfactants to control foam and emulsion is critical to the effectiveness and efficiency of oilfield operations, they continue to play an important role in the oil and gas sector. When it comes to providing solutions that improve oil and gas sector productivity, safety, and quality of service, Imperial Oilfield Chemicals' specific surfactant skills and comprehensive experience are invaluable.

The technology in the back of wholesome Hair.
Introduction What Does Hair Look Like When It’s Healthy? What is the Hair’s Structure Like? Conditioner and Shampoo Hands-on-Heads-on-Heads-on-Hea Natural and sustainable products are in high demand. References Additional Reading
What is healthy hair, and how does science support it? The structure of the hair is discussed here, as well as its proclivity for displaying a healthy appearance or not. Why do our tresses sometimes appear unkempt?
Because we now know more about our hair’s inherent qualities, we may employ conditioning treatments to better control and improve its appearance. Natural and sustainable hair-care products have been increasingly popular in recent years. We’ll take a closer look at how plants are used in haircare in this article.
Smooth and shiny hair, as opposed to dull, coarse, and frizzy hair, is typically believed to be healthy. Hair surface qualities are related to the virtues of smoothness and gloss. Clean cut or tapered ends are also health indicators since they link to the hair cortex.
Excessive styling and cosmetic treatments, such as the use of chemical dyes or bleaches, are some of the reasons why a person’s hair may be less-than-healthy appearing. Chemical damage can occur here, resulting in hair that is dull, frizzy, and lifeless. Furthermore, age-related changes such as natural greying or androgenetic alopecia (older men’s hair loss) can cause a loss of shine and smoothness.
The synchronization of a complex collection of elements, including medical and biological considerations, scalp-care practices, hair-care treatments, and environmental circumstances, is required to maintain our hair appearing healthy. Cosmetics are used to change the hair’s physical and mechanical qualities, which are influenced by its internal structure and protein composition. When the hair surface is viewed at the molecular level as “organized,” it has ramifications for the development of eco-friendly and sustainable components and formulations for both shampoos and conditioners, which have seen an increase in consumer demand in recent years.
What is the hair’s structure like?
Hair is made up of two layers: an exterior hydrophobic layer and a cortex. These layers, when combined, provide hair with the sought physical attributes of luster (shine) and volume (body) that make it “healthy.”
Flattened overlapping cuticle cells make up the hydrophobic lipid epicuticle layer. The natural cuticle has a smooth appearance and allows light to reflect. Meanwhile, the inner cortex is made up of spindle-shaped cells filled with keratin filaments that are tightly packed. When hair is subjected to treatments like dyeing or operations like curling or straightening, permanent alterations occur in the cortex.
Shampoo and conditioner complement each other.
How does healthy hair appear?
Shampoo cleans the hair by removing extra oil, sebum, and grime. As applied alone, however, it tangles damp hair, makes it difficult to handle, and causes frizziness when it dries. A bad combing method can produce mechanical stress, resulting in the removal of the outermost covalently bonded lipid layer, leaving the hair surface hydrophilic and ionized.
Applying conditioning treatments to the hair after shampooing or mixing shampoo and conditioner into a single application — a time-saving strategy — is one answer to this problem. The issue in either instance (shampoo + conditioner or a formulation that combines the two) is to keep the conditioning chemicals on the hair’s surface after the cleansing formulation is removed. Cationic surfactants, cationic polyelectrolytes, lipophilic conditioners (such as oils, natural waxes, and fatty alcohols), and silicones are the most popular conditioning additives.
Natural and sustainable products are in high demand.
The cosmetics business has attempted to meet consumer demand for more natural and environmentally friendly products. The main problem is to be able to replace old low-cost surfactants with novel biosurfactants at a comparable cost. Using green scientific concepts, significant progress has been achieved in this regard, and many novel compounds are now environmentally friendly.
Solid shampoos, which contain some innovative and interesting components, have recently been developed in the search for more natural alternatives. As an alternative to typical washing bases, these are based mostly on clays, herbs, or flours, and are blended with the normal synthetic surfactants and other common chemicals.
Solid shampoos have various advantages over traditional formulations, including ease of shipping and greater microbiological stability (the presence of water in the composition of traditional shampoos necessitates the use of additional preservatives). We’ll now turn our attention to the utilization of herbs.
Herbals have been used for hair washing since the beginning of time. There has been a renaissance in the usage of herbals in recent years, coinciding with the growing tendency toward natural, raw resources. Herbal products are often preferred since they are inexpensive and have a low chance of side effects.
Plants that are good for our hair have been discovered in abundance. Vitamins, amino acids, sugars, glycosides, bioflavonoids, phytohormones, fruit acids, and essential oils are some of the most sought-after components. The selection of these natural elements, as well as the introduction of unique formulation techniques, pose a difficulty.
Although these new formulations contain natural components that may give the impression of protection, it is critical that they are safe and effective for long-term use. Many herbal shampoos on the market still use synthetic components, despite the fact that ‘pure’ shampoos made entirely of natural ingredients are now proven to compete with regular shampoos in terms of foaming, mild detergency, and solid content.
