Biosurfactants are surface-active molecules produced by microorganisms, either on the cell
surface or secreted extracellularly. They form a thin film on the surface of microorganisms …

Surfactants, both chemical and biological, are amphiphilic compounds which can reduce
surface and interfacial tensions by accumulating at the interface of immiscible fluids and …

Microorganisms produce a variety of surface‐active agents (or surfactants). These can be
divided into low‐molecular‐weight molecules that lower surface and interfacial tensions …

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

Surfactants with their intrinsic ability to solubilize lipid membranes are widely used as
antibacterial agents, and their interactions with the bacterial cell envelope are complicated …

The main commercial use of biosurfactants is in pollution remediation because of their ability
to stabilize emulsions. This enhances the solubility and availability of hydrophobic …

Numerous investigations of microbial surface-active compounds or biosurfactants over the
past two decades have led to the discovery of many interesting physicochemical and …

Biosurfactants have recently emerged as promising molecules for their structural novelty,
versatility, and diverse properties that are potentially useful for many therapeutic …

The attention towards the bacteria associated with human health is growing more and more,
above all regarding the bacteria that inhabit the niches offered by the human body, ie, the …

Microbial growth and biofilms formation are a continuous source of contamination on most
surfaces with biological, inanimate, natural or man-made. The use of chemical surfactants in …
