| Abstract | Microbial emulsifiers are compounds employed in primary mechanisms for bioremediation of petroleum and other hydrocarbon pollutants from the environment. Although emulsifiers of biological origin are produced by microorganisms generally in response to growth on hydrocarbons, Aspergillus niger MYA 135 produced a bioemulsifier during fermentation in a sucrose-based culture medium at an initial pH of 5.0 and at 30°C. The production of bioemulsifiers can be strongly influenced by environmental factors. In this connection, a study of the effect of initial pH, the incubation temperature and presence of CaCl$_{2}$ or FeCl$_{3}$ in the culture medium was conducted. Emulsification index was increased by 112 and 206% at an initial pH 2.0 or in medium supplemented with FeCl$_{3}$, respectively. On the other hand, emulsifying ability of Aspergillus niger supernatants was detected during the exponential phase, suggesting that bioemulsifiers accumulation and microbial growth would be related. Interestingly, this study suggests that iron and/or phosphate ions would play a key role in maintaining the emulsifying ability. Finally, factorial design was also employed to study the effects of the initial pH, the presence of FeCl$_{3}$ and the concentration of KH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$ on the emulsification index. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
