Biosurfactants in cosmetics and biopharmaceuticals
Letters in Applied Microbiology, 2015Biosurfactants are surface-active biomolecules that are produced by various micro-organisms. They show unique properties i.e. lower toxicity, higher biodegradability and environmental compatibility compared to their chemical counterparts. Glycolipids and lipopeptides have prompted application in biotechnology and cosmetics due to their multi-functional

Production of rhamnolipid biosurfactants
1995Biosurfactants are of increasing interest due to their broad range of potential applications. A large variety of microbial surfactants is known at present, some of which may be used for specific applications. Towards the large scale industrial production of biosurfactants, the physiology, biochemistry and genetics of biosurfactant synthesis has to be ...

Recovery of biosurfactants by ultrafiltration
Journal of Chemical Technology & Biotechnology, 1990AbstractUltrafiltration was used in a one‐step method to purify and concentrate biosurfactants—surfactin and rhamnolipids—from culture supernatant fluids. The ability of surfactant molecules to form micelles at concentrations above the critical micelle concentration allows these aggregates to be retained by relatively high molecular weight cut‐off ...

Biosurfactants and oil bioremediation
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2002Oil pollution is an environmental problem of increasing importance. Hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms, adapted to grow and thrive in oil-containing environments, have an important role in the biological treatment of this pollution. One of the limiting factors in this process is the bioavailability of many fractions of the oil.

Microbial Biosurfactants and Biodegradation
2010Microbial biosurfactants are amphipathic molecules having typical molecular weights of 500-1500 Da, made up of peptides, saccharides or lipids or their combinations. In biodegradation processes they mediate solubilisation, mobilization and/or accession of hydrophobic substrates to microbes.

Many different types of biosurfactants are synthesized by microorganisms. As the structures and properties are elucidated, yields increased and costs of recovery from the fermentation media reduced, biosurfactants will become important industrial chemicals.
