Abstract Hypothesis Molecular dynamics simulation can be used to differentiate between the adsorption properties of rhamnolipid congeners at a vacuum-water interface. Experiments Adsorption five with differing alkyl chains (two C10 chains, two C14 or mixed C14C10 and C10C14), number rhamnose rings (mono- di-) carboxyl group charge (non-ionic anionic) are simulated Findings All rhamnolipids adso...

This editorial is an annotation on the exciting research topic " Microbiotechnology based surfactants and their applications " that covers a compilation of original research articles, reviews and mini-reviews submitted by researchers enthusiastically working in the field of biosurfactants. Biosurfactants, which for a long time have been confused with bioemulsifiers, derived their name from biol...
