Commercialization of biosurfactants
, 2023 Amphiphilic compounds, made by plants, fungi, or bacteria, can lower the surface tension of fluids. Their moietiesinclude cationic peptides, acid, sugar, anion, and hydrophobic chains. Because of their amphipathic properties, biosurfactants are versatile

Micellar and Solubilization Properties of Biological Surfactant Surfactin
Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We studied aqueous solutions of surfactin in the concentration range of 0.001–200 g/L using NMR diffusometry, tensometry and optical microscopy methods. According to tensometry data, the system forms monolayers of surfactant molecules at the water‐air phase boundary at C = 0.02 g/L.

Yeast glycolipid biosurfactants [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2017 Various yeasts, both conventional and exotic ones, are known to produce compounds useful to mankind. Ethanol is the most known of these compounds, but more complex molecules such as amphiphilic biosurfactants can also be derived from eukaryotic microorganisms at an industrially and commercially relevant scale.
