Zusammenfassung:Setting superhydrophobic Mycobacterium sp. as an example, the hydrophobic bacteria acting as demulsifying agents of surfactant-stabilized conventional emulsions, vice versa, the synergistic/antagonistic influence of nonionic surfactants (Tween 80 or Span 80) on the stability of the bacteria-stabilized Pickering emulsions was investigated. At the same time, the activated/suppression effect of nonionic surfactants on microbial degradation of tetradecane, which exhibited a dose-response relationship, was also found. The hydrophobic bacteria acting as demulsifying agents and the suppression influence of nonionic surfactants on the biocatalytic performance (indexing as biomass) of natural alkane-degrading bacteria, believed to be totally separated concepts previously, are for the first time found to be closely related to in situ surface modification of bacteria with nonionic surfactants. During the degradation of tetradecane by Mycobacterium sp. in the presence of nonionic surfactants, demulsification due to the bacteria acting as demulsifying agents and interfacial biocatalysis in the bacteria-stabilized Pickering emulsions are involved, which provides useful information to select optimal dispersants for marine oil spills
