In the era of global industrialisation, the exploration of natural resources has served as a
source of experimentation for science and advanced technologies, giving rise to the …

Microorganisms are known to be natural oil producers in their cellular compartments.
Microorganisms that accumulate more than 20% w/w of lipids on a cell dry weight basis are …

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

Many microorganisms, especially bacteria, produce biosurfactants when grown on water-
immiscible substrates. Biosurfactants are more effective, selective, environmentally friendly …

Microbial surfactants are amphipathic molecules that consist of hydrophilic and hydrophobic
domains, which allow partition of two fluid phases of varying degree of polarity. They are …

Biosurfactants are in demand by the global market as natural commodities that can be
added to commercial products or use in environmental applications. These biomolecules …

There has been considerable interest in the use of biosurfactants due to the diversity of
structures and the possibility of production from a variety of substrates. The potential for …

Background Biotechnological processes are costly, especially for the production of
biosurfactants. The successful production of a biosurfactant is dependent on the …

Biosurfactants or microbial surfactants are surface-active biomolecules that are produced by
a variety of microorganisms. Biosurfactants have gained importance in the fields of …

The alkane-assimilating yeast Yarrowia lipolytica degrades very efficiently hydrophobic
substrates such as n-alkanes, fatty acids, fats and oils for which it has specific metabolic …
