Description

Arthrofactin CAS NO 152406-36-5 is a high-purity cyclic lipopeptide biosurfactant produced by specific strains of *Pseudomonas* bacteria. This compound is valued for its exceptional surface-active and emulsifying properties, which are effective at very low concentrations. It is primarily sought after by researchers and formulators in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and agricultural biotechnology sectors for developing novel antimicrobial agents, eco-friendly detergents, and enhanced oil recovery solutions.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: Investigated for its potent antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activities against drug-resistant pathogens.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Used as a high-performance, biocompatible emulsifier and foaming agent in skincare products.
• Agricultural Biotechnology: Employed in the development of biocontrol agents and bio-stimulants for plant protection.
• Environmental Remediation: Applied in bioremediation processes for hydrocarbon degradation and soil washing due to its superior emulsification power.
• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Utilized as a green alternative to chemical surfactants to mobilize trapped crude oil in reservoirs.
• Industrial Cleaning: Serves as a key ingredient in specialty, biodegradable detergent formulations.
• Nanomaterial Synthesis: Acts as a stabilizing and templating agent in the production of nanoparticles.
