Optimized biosynthesis and performance enhancement of γ-PGA from Bacillus licheniformis: a study on wettability, microstructure, and environmental performance by Mingming Cheng, Shuoshi Zhang, Jianbo Gao, Wenqing Liu, Gang Zhou, Tao Sui, Daoquan Cheng, Cheng Wang, Xiangchuan Wang, Xiaoyan Li, Yuxi Li

“…Infrared spectroscopy analysis showed that the purified product contained typical functional groups of γ-PGA. Changes in the contact angle of γ-PGA solution with coal dust over time demonstrated that brown coal was wetted extremely quickly, with the largest change in contact angle; within 5 min of dropping the fermentation liquid, the contact angle sharply decreased from 69° to 0°, completely wetting the brown coal. …”
