TL;DR: Liposomes of various phospholipids were prepared using an improved supercritical reverse phase evaporation (ISCRPE) method that utilizes supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO(2)) as an alternative to organic solvents and revealed that the presence of CO(2) is necessary for the formation of liposomes.

Production of new types of sophorolipids by Candida batistae.
TL;DR: The phylogenetic approach should lead to the discovery of new biosurfactant producers, and the yeast product possessing high hydrophilicity may facilitate a broad range of applications for SLs.
