Possible Interaction: Glucose and Pulmonary Surfactants

“We conclude that, whereas surfactant secretion was inhibited by glucose infusion , neither total surfactant PC synthesis nor the surfactant PC pool size was significantly affected due to an increased reliance on de novo synthesized fatty acids.”

“Addition of this surfactant not only enhanced glucose release by twofold within stipulated time, but aided in recovery of Cellic CTec2 which was further recycled and reused for second round of saccharification.”

“ Biosurfactant increased the glucose released in the enzymatic hydrolysis in relation to control (without tensoactive) when WOP (19% increase) and NP (113% increase) were used.”

“Moreover, highest reduction of ST and production of biosurfactant was achieved at 4.5% (w/v) concentration of glucose.”

“Monomers of the surfactant with the lowest HLB value of 12.3 inhibited RA2 growth on both glucose and PCP.”

“Concentration of limiting carbon substrate glucose ) is also an important factor affecting the production of surfactin , as an initial glucose concentration of 40 g L‐1 resulted in optimal surfactin production.”

“ Glucose (4%) in the medium contaning hexadecane caused a 27 and 21% decrease of biomass and surfactant concentrations, respectively.”
