Temperature-responsive extraction of violacein using a tuneable anionic surfactant-based system†
Abstract
A tuneable thermoresponsive system based on combinations of sodium dodecyl sulfate surfactant with tetrabutylammonium chloride salt is presented as an integrated process for the solid–liquid extraction of violacein from bio-engineered Yarrowia lipolytica yeast and its purification by cloud-point separation from contaminant proteins.
