Greetings, World.

Morning everyone! Its 10:03am and i am writing a blog when i can be sleeping more but i cant even if i wanted to. But this morning is a produtive morning. I just discovered that in USA there are i-dont-know-how-many-states, but i now know TWO of them! With their cities too! First would be Nebraska (city Lincoln) and Indiana (city IndianaPOLIS) and Eugene which i dont know is a state or city but i couldnt bring myself to google it.. Hands still malfunctioning at this hour. Gah! I still have much to learn. And in the educational side of things, remember i told you some thing bout biosurfactants as my report writing thing? Yeah.. At LAST i got to doing it a little and guess what i found out, here's an excerpt from Wikipedia (First on Google):


"Biosurfactants are surface-active substances synthesised by living cells. They have the properties of reducing surface tension, stabilising emulsions, promoting foaming and are generally non-toxic and biodegradable."
"Interest in microbial surfactants has been steadily increasing in recent years due to their diversity, environmentally friendly nature, possibility of large-scale production, selectivity, performance under extreme conditions and potential applications in environmental protection" (Wikipedia, Biosurfactants, cited 6th October 2009)


Haha! Loads of horrfying details after THAT. Hmm.. but biosurfactants ARE really becoming an important tool especially in bioremediation, a scientifically tech-ie term which means they use microorgansms or living organisms (thus the word BIO) to clear up wastes such as heavy metal deposition in water, or the most common, clearing up oil spills and from Wikipedia:


"herbicides and pesticides formulations, detergents, health care and cosmetics, pulp and paper, coal, textiles, ceramic processing and food industries, uranium ore-processing and mechanical dewatering of peat" (Wikipedia, Biosurfactants, cited 6th October 2009)


All dead useful to us and the environment if you asked me. But in health care and cosmetics.... I dont think i would want to put anything BIOSURFACTANT-ey in my body. So there. Full stop. Yeah.. So this is what green management people together with scientists do to save Mother Nature.. Anyway, i have to go! Future scientist needs to do more work on her project before class. See you!

Love,
June
