Microbially derived surfactants, called biosurfactants, provide a
promising alternative to synthetic surfactants, displaying better
availability and being generally nontoxic and biodegradable.
Biosurfactants also have the advantage of diverse chemical
properties and the potential to be less expensive. They demonstrate
properties such as reducing surface tension, stabilizing emulsions,
and promoting foaming. With many promising research results, a
consolidated resource of biosurfactant knowledge is needed to build
a framework for further development of applications.
Biosurfactants: Research Trends and Applications fills this need,
covering the latest research and development on relevant aspects of
biological, biochemical, and physical processes and applications of
biosurfactants. This book reviews current knowledge and the latest
advances, strategies for improving production processes, and the
status of biosynthetic and genetic regulation mechanisms for
microbial surfactants. Chapters present research findings on
specific biosurfactants, such as high surface activity
rhamnolipids, yeast-derived sophorolipids, lipopeptides, and
trehalose lipids that have potential for environmental, industrial,
and medical uses. The book also describes sources and
characteristics of marine microbial biosurfactants, biosurfactants
made from food processing by-products and biosurfactants used in
the food industry, and biosurfactants for green synthesis of
nanoparticles. The text presents applications of biosurfactants in
environmental industries and examines interactions between metals
and various classes of biosurfactants and related metal remediation
technologies. The final chapter reviews the state of the art of
biosurfactants and their applications, and proposes approaches to
overcome any challenges.
