ENV-653: PRODUCTION OF BIOSURFACTANT BY RHODOCOCCUS ERYTHROPOLIS SP. CULTIVATED IN A NOVEL FISH WASTE COMPOST EXTRACT SUBSTRATE
Compost generated through fish waste composting could provide an effective source of nutrient-rich organic matter for microbial growth, leading to the production of valuable products such as biosurfactants. Existing biosurfactant production is a relative expensive process and raw materials contribut...
