Summary: The ability to alter the functionality of surfactants is founded on prior work centered on altering the metabolism of bacteria in the treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater, utilizing a combination of low molecular weight proteins and surfactants. Advanced BioCatalytics has isolated an "uncoupling factor" that, when combined with surface-active agents, simulates uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation or energy spilling in biochemical processes.
