Surfactants are surface-active compounds capable of reducing surface and interfacial
tension at the interfaces between liquids, solids and gases, thereby allowing them to mix or …

Biosurfactants are amphiphilic compounds produced by microorganisms that are capable of
decreasing surface and interfacial tensions. They are useful in remediation of insoluble …

Surfactants are amphiphilic compounds which can reduce surface and interfacial tensions
by accumulating at the interface of immiscible fluids and increase the solubility, mobility …

Surface‐active compound of biological origin (biosurfactants) have only been described in
the past few decades. With the advantage of biodegradability and production on renewable …

Biosurfactants are surface-active biomolecules produced by microbes (bacteria, fungi, and
yeast) and have several advantages over the chemical surfactants, such as lower toxicity …

Biosurfactants are natural products derived from bacteria, yeasts or fungi. The complex
chemical structures and physical properties of biosurfactants generally result in properties …

Abstract This Microbiology Monographs volume covers the current and most recent
advances in the field of microbial surfactants. There is increasing interest in microbial …

Biosurfactants are a group of microbial molecules identified by their unique capabilities to
interact with hydrocarbons. Emulsification and de-emulsification, dispersion, foaming …

Microbial surfactants are amphiphilic surface-active substances aid to reduce surface and
interfacial tensions by accumulating between two fluid phases. They can be generically …

Biosurfactant or microbial surfactants produced by microbes are structurally diverse and
heterogeneous groups of surface-active amphipathic molecules. They are capable of …
