Isolates were screened for biosurfactant/bioemulsifier production in different carbon sources (glucose, fructose, sucrose and kerosene)using the qualitative drop-collapse test. Glucose produced the highest number of positive results (17 of 185 isolates). All 17 isolates produced emulsions with kerosene and 12 exhibited high emulsion-stabilizing capacity, maintaining 50 UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q4zhM2U7Qw7zU0MmNvoi5ngy_8dQTBFf/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
