Abstract
The effect of dissolved CO2 on the solubilization of bovine serum albumin ( BSA) in the reverse micelles of bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate(AOT) in iso octane and the stability of the reverse micelles were studied at different AOT concentrations and water contents. It was found that the concentration of the surfactant and the water content in the reverse micelles significant ly affected the solubilization of BSA. Most of the BSA in the reverse micel les could be precipitated under suitable conditions, and the mechanism was discussed.
