Biosurfactants and oil bioremediation.
Oil 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. The hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms produce biosurfactants o...
متن کاملRhamnolipid Biosurfactants Produced by Pseudomonas Species
Surfactants are chemical products widely used in our daily life in toothpaste and other personal hygiene and cosmetic products, and in several industries. Biosurfactants are surfactants of biological origin that can be produced by microorganisms and have many advantages, such as low toxicity and high biodegradability, compared to synthetic counterparts. Unfortunately, high production costs limi...
متن کاملCharacterization and Emulsification Properties of Rhamnolipid and Sophorolipid Biosurfactants and Their Applications
Due to their non-toxic nature, biodegradability and production from renewable resources, research has shown an increasing interest in the use of biosurfactants in a wide variety of applications. This paper reviews the characterization of rhamnolipid and sophorolipid biosurfactants based on their hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity and their ability to form microemulsions with a range of oils without ...
متن کاملRhamnolipid biosurfactants—past, present, and future scenario of global market
RHAMNOLIPIDS—BRIEF OUTLINE Biosurfactants, widely known as surfaceactive agents of biological origin, have carved a niche for themselves in the market due to their unique environmentfriendly properties. They have come a long way since first biosurfactant “surfactin” was purified and characterized by Arima et al. (1968). Biosurfactants have been researched thoroughly and satisfactorily since the...
متن کاملRhamnolipid Biosurfactants as New Players in Animal and Plant Defense against Microbes
Rhamnolipids are known as very efficient biosurfactant molecules. They are used in a wide range of industrial applications including food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical formulations and bioremediation of pollutants. The present review provides an overview of the effect of rhamnolipids in animal and plant defense responses. We describe the current knowledge on the stimulation of plant and animal imm...
