Abstract
A traditional Assamese fermented food, Panitenga, was explored for potential probiotic isolation. A potent bacterial strain exhibiting biosurfactant production ability was isolated, characterized, and identified as Bacillus subtilis SMP-2. Environmental parameters were optimized for maximum cell growth and biosurfactant production that was found to be pH 6, 30°C, 130 rpm, with glycerol as the carbon (C) source, yeast extract as the nitrogen (N) source, and a C/N ratio of 3:1. At these optimized conditions, the strain yielded 8.13 ± 0.9 g/L of lipopeptide biosurfactant. This biosurfactant remarkably reduced the surface tension of water from 72 mN/m to 37 ± 0.36 mN/m, possessed a low critical micelle concentration (CMC) of 125 mg/L, and exhibited antimicrobial properties. It persisted to be stable across a wide range of physical conditions, including variations in pH, temperature, and salinity. The significantly high production yield and noteworthy properties of the biosurfactant from Bacillus subtilis SMP-2 make it a promising candidate for applications in microbial-enhanced oil recovery (MEOR), bioremediation of oil spills, production of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, contributing to economic growth and sustainable development.

Official Journal of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering:
Part C
FBP aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in the branches of engineering and science dedicated to the safe processing of biological products. It is the only journal to exploit the synergy between biotechnology, bioprocessing and food engineering.
Papers showing how research results can be used in engineering design, and accounts of experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research, are particularly welcome. Contributions that deal with new developments in equipment or processes and that can be given quantitative expression are encouraged. The journal is especially interested in papers that extend the boundaries of food and bioproducts processing.
The journal has a strong emphasis on the interface between engineering and food or bioproducts. Papers that are not likely to be published are those:
• Primarily concerned with food formulation
• That use experimental design techniques to obtain response surfaces but gain little insight from them
• That are empirical and ignore established mechanistic models, e.g., empirical drying curves
• That are primarily concerned about sensory evaluation and colour
• Concern the extraction, encapsulation and/or antioxidant activity of a specific biological material without providing insight that could be applied to a similar but different material,
• Containing only chemical analyses of biological materials.
