“…The problem of heavy metal pollution is highly associated with its toxicity to plants, animals, and people and its lack of biodegradability (Singh, Prasad 2015). Also, heavy metals cause multiple types of biological system malfunctions and can cause deaths (Dotaniya et al 2018). Arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, and mercury are among the priority metals of public health importance due to their high toxicity (Tchounwou et al 2012).…”

“…Ion exchange allows the cationic biosurfactants to compete and replace similarly charged metal ions for negatively charged surfaces (Santos et al 2016). Also, microbial biosurfactants can be involved in other heavy metal removal mechanisms such as plantmicrobe-modulated phytoremediation and biofilmmediated heavy metal bioremediation, which have been proved as essential ways to enhance heavy metal remediation, detoxification, and mediate sustainable plant nutrient dynamics (Rajkumar et al 2012;Meliani, Bensoltane 2016;Dotaniya et al 2018).…”

The dispersal of various chemical pollutants in our environment requires the development of effective approaches that would lead to the bioremediation of contaminated areas. The biological methods such as the application of microbial biosurfactants represent one of the suitable solutions that has gained large attention due to their structural diversity, molecular sizes, and multifunctional characteristics. Thus, they are likely to be applied in the field of bioremediation, where they can lower the surface and interfacial tensions at different interfaces leading to removal of pollutants or improve their biodegradation and bioavailability. The presented review highlights the recent advances and knowledge on the important aspects of microbial biosurfactant applications in bioremediation.
