Synthetic surfactants are becoming increasingly unpopular in many applications due to previously disregarded effects on biological systems and this has led to a new focus on replacing such products with biosurfactants that are biodegradable and produced from renewal resources. Microbially derived biosurfactants have been investigated in numerous studies in areas including: increasing feed digestibility in an agricultural context, improving seed protection and fertility, plant pathogen control, antimicrobial activity, antibiofilm activity, wound healing and dermatological care, improved oral cavity care, drug delivery systems and anticancer treatments. The development of the potential of biosurfactants has been hindered somewhat by the myriad of approaches taken in their investigations, the focus on pathogens as source species and the costs associated with large‐scale production. Here, we focus on various microbial sources of biosurfactants and the current trends in terms of agricultural and biomedical applications.

“…Rhamnolipids have also been shown to be effective dispersal agents for fungi disrupting pre-formed biofilms of Yarrowia lipolytica on glass surfaces by ≈67 % which was more effective in comparison to the surfactants cetyl-trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) (Dusane et al 2012).…”

Current microbial inhibition strategies based on planktonic bacterial physiology have been known to have limited efficacy on the growth of biofilm communities. This problem can be exacerbated by the emergence of increasingly resistant clinical strains. All aspects of biofilm measurement, monitoring, dispersal, control, and inhibition are becoming issues of increasing importance. Biosurfactants have merited renewed interest in both clinical and hygienic sectors due to their potential to disperse microbial biofilms in addition to many other advantages. The dispersal properties of biosurfactants have been shown to rival those of conventional inhibitory agents against bacterial and yeast biofilms. This makes them suitable candidates for use in new generations of microbial dispersal agents and for use as adjuvants for existing microbial suppression or eradication strategies. In this review, we explore aspects of biofilm characteristics and examine the contribution of biologically derived surface-active agents (biosurfactants) to the disruption or inhibition of microbial biofilms.

“…This biosurfactant showed efficacy as an antimicrobial and antibiofilm agent for a wide spectrum of pathogens, including orally related microorganisms. Dusane et al (2012) investigated the effect of rhamnolipids on Yarrowia lipolytica biofilm formation on different surfaces, where rhamnolipids caused an inhibition of Y. lipolytica biofilm production on plastic and glass by 50% and 67%, respectively. The report does not provide insight into the chemical composition of the rhamnolipids used.…”

One sentence summary: Biosurfactant properties including antimicrobial activity, emulsion formation and the ability to increase bioavailability of hydrophobic compounds make them potential candidates for use in cosmetic, therapeutic, oral hygiene and medical devices. Editor: Geertje van Keulen ABSTRACTBiosurfactants are naturally produced molecules that demonstrate potentially useful properties such as the ability to reduce surface tensions between different phases. Besides having similar properties to their artificial chemical counterparts, they are regarded as environmental friendly, biodegradable and less toxic, which make them desirable candidates for downstream applications. The structure-activity-related properties of the biosurfactants which are directly correlated with potency of the biosurfactants as antimicrobial agents, the ability of the biosurfactants to alter surface energies and their ability to increase bioavailability are particularly what attract researchers to exploit their potential use in the oral-related health applications. Current research into biosurfactant indicates significant future potential for use in cosmetic and therapeutic oral hygiene product formulations and related medical device treatments.
