Biosurfactant becomes important nowadays as sustainable bio-derived surfactants emerged to replace the petroleum based surfactant. In this work, the fusion peptide biosurfactant (HSG) was successfully expressed when induced with 1 mM Isopropyl-ß-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). The combined process o...
