Production of a biosurfactant from Bacillus methylotrophicus UCP1616 for use in the bioremediation of oil-contaminated environments.
Article in Ecotoxicology (London, England), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to produce a microbial biosurfactant for use in the bioremediation of environments contaminated with petroleum products. Bacillus methylotrophicus was isolated from seawater taken from a port area and cultivated using industrial waste as substrate (corn steep liquor and sugarcane molasses [both at 3%]). Surface tension measurements and motor oil emulsification capacity were used for the evaluation of the production of the biosurfactant, which demonstrated stability in a broad range of pH and temperature as well as a high concentration of saline, with the reduction of the surface tension of water to 29 mN/m. The maximum concentration of biosurfactant (10.0 g/l) was reached after 144 h of cultivation. The biosurfactant was considered to be a lipopeptide based on the results of proton nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy. The tests demonstrated that the biosurfactant is innocuous and has potential for the bioremediation of soil and water contaminated by petroleum products. Thus, the biosurfactant described herein has a low production cost and can be used in environmental processes.
