A Review on Biosurfactant Properties, Production and Producing Microorganisms

Abstract: Biosurfactants are structurally diverse surface-active agents mostly produced by various genera of bacteria, yeast and filamentous fungi that have a wide range of applications and properties. They have surface and interfacial activity, temperature and pH tolerance, biodegradability, low toxicity and anti-adhesive property. Their production was reported to be affected by temperature, PH, aeration and agitation, salt concentration and carbon and nitrogen sources. Bacteria species of the genera Acinetobacter, Art… Show more

“…4 Microbial surfactants exhibit superior properties compared to chemically manufactured alternatives, of which the most important is outstanding surface activity, stability in a wide range of pH and temperature, biodegradability, low toxicity and extraordinary emulsifying and demulsifying activity. 5 Numerous genera have been described for biosurfactant production, with Bacillus spp., Acinetobacter spp., Rhodococcus spp., Halomonas spp. and Candida spp.…”

“…Because of their many advantageous properties-including being non-toxic, biodegradable, and resistant to environmental factors like temperature, pH, and ionic strength-microbial surfactants have been widely adopted as a viable alternative to synthetic surfactants in a wide variety of industries and applications [2]. Bodour et al [3] classified biosurfactants based on their chemical structure and microbial origin as glycolipids, lipopeptides, sophorolipids, surface active antibiotics, neutral lipids, fatty acids, polymeric biosurfactants and particulate biosurfactants [4,5]. Modern surfactants are almost entirely synthesized from petroleum.…”

“…Theseagents are classified into chemical and biological surfactants based on their origin (Santos et al, 2017). They are also classified into glycolipids, phospholipids, lipopeptides, as well as higher molecular weight or polymeric surfactants based on monomers they are composed of (Fardami et al, 2022). Biosurfactants are secondary metabolites produced by a variety of microorganisms, including bacteria, molds and yeasts.…”
