Abstract

Interest in attractive biological sources with multicriteria applications has been increasing during recent years. This study scrutinized the applications of Dietzia bacteria for future prospects. Apart from such present and well-established applications—as in therapeutic biotreatments for adult paratuberculosis animals, production of carotenoid pigments, and animal feed additives—their uses in biosurfactants and biodemulsifiers production, the pollutants bioremediation, biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons and crude oil and also production of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) have been exploited. The use of these bacteria as a biotechnological tool may lead to improve the optimization and quality assurance of food ingredients and products, the capability of degradation and remediation of environmental pollutants, and the efficiency of bioconversion systems for energy recovery and bioprocessing of value-added products.
