Review in Structure–Activity Relationships, Synthetic Regulation, and Applications of Mono/Di-Rhamnolipids [PDF]

Microorganisms
Rhamnolipids (RLs) are natural biosurfactants produced by microbial fermentation. They exhibit excellent surface activity, environmental compatibility, and versatile biological activities, with broad application potential in energy development ...

Antiviral Activity of Rhamnolipids Nano-Micelles Against Rhinoviruses—In Silico Docking, Molecular Dynamic Analysis and In-Vitro Studies [PDF]

Current Issues in Molecular Biology
Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) previously focused mainly on multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, with less attention on viruses. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of controlling viral infections. Human rhinoviruses (HRVs) are among the

Encapsulation of vitamin D3 using rhamnolipids-based nanostructured lipid carriers.

Food Chemistry, 2023
This work had as main objective to encapsulate vitamin D3 (VD3) into nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) using rhamnolipids as surfactant. Glycerol monostearate and medium chain triglycerides with 2.625 % of VD3 were used as lipid materials.

Critical evaluation of the performance of rhamnolipids as surfactants for (phyto)extraction of Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb and Zn from copper smelter-affected soil.

Science of the Total Environment, 2023
Rhamnolipids are biosurfactants produced by bacteria belonging to the Pseudomonas genus. They are discussed to complex heavy metal cations stronger than cations of Fe, Ca, Mg.

Effects of Natural Rhamnolipid Mixture on Dioleoylphosphatidylcholine Model Membrane Depending on Method of Preparation and Sterol Content

Membranes, 2023
Rhamnolipids as biosurfactants have a potentially wide range of applications, for example, as “green” surfactants or components of drug delivery systems, which is associated with the features of their interaction with cell membranes. However, as noted in

Basic principles for biosurfactant-assisted (bio)remediation of soils contaminated by heavy metals and petroleum hydrocarbons - A critical evaluation of the performance of rhamnolipids.

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2022
Despite the fact that rhamnolipids are among the most studied biosurfactants, there are still several gaps which must be filled. The aim of this review is to emphasize and to indicate which issues should be taken into account in order to achieve ...
