Biosurfactants, tensio-active compounds produced by living cells,
are now gaining increasing interest due to their potential
applications in many different industrial areas in which to date
almost exclusively synthetic surfactants have been used. Their
unique structures and characteristics are just starting to be
appreciated. In addition, biosurfactants are considered to be
environmentally "friendly," relatively non-toxic and biodegradable.
This Microbiology Monographs volume deals with the most recent
advances in the field of microbial biosurfactants, such as
rhamnolipids, serrawettins, trehalolipids, mannosylerythritol
lipids, sophorolipids, surfactin and other lipopeptides. Each
chapter reviews the characteristics of an individual biosurfactant
including the physicochemical properties, the chemical structures,
the role in the physiology of the producing microbes, the
biosynthetic pathways, the genetic regulation, and the potential
biotechnological applications.
