Microbial biosurfactants and bioemulsifiers are amphiphilic, surface-active compounds produced during biodegradation, increasing the bioavailability of organic pollutants such as hydrocarbons. Both are known to be produced by bacteria to facilitate the process of hydrocarbon degradation and at the same time enhancing oil recovery in petroleum indus

Introduction: Chronic periodontitis is the second most common oral disease worldwide. It is a multifactorial disease with bacterial plaque as the necessary factors but other factors such age, systemic conditions and social habits do play a determining role in the development of periodontitis.
