Biosurfactants have wide applications in pharmaceutical, agriculture and food industries. The research area of biosurfactants is gaining immense attention. The review mentions here the advantages and various substrates used for biosurfactants production. The pre-treatment of substrates for biosurfactants production is also focused. The production of biosurfactants by solid state fermentation is also described. The renewable substrates, yield and microorganisms used for biosurfactant production are also taken into consideration. The screening methods for biosurfactant are also described. The use of renewable sources for biosurfactant production is specially focused in the review. This will be very eco-friendly, easy and economical. More studies need to BE done on large-scale production of biosurfactants using genetically engineered microorganisms.

“…They all show diverse emulsification, interfacial, and surface tension properties. These compounds are known to exhibit broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, and different classes of biosurfactants are being used by the agricultural, oil, food, cosmetic, biotechnological, and pharmaceutical industries, as well as in a wide range of environmental remediation technologies [24,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. The review of Fenibo et al [36] offers an overview of diverse applications of biosurfactants, with emphases on petroleum biotechnology, environmental remediation, and the agriculture sector.…”

Corrosion influenced by microbes, commonly known as microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC), is associated with biofilm, which has been one of the problems in the industry. The damages of industrial equipment or infrastructures due to corrosion lead to large economic and environmental problems. Synthetic chemical biocides are now commonly used to prevent corrosion, but most of them are not effective against the biofilms, and they are toxic and not degradable. Biocides easily kill corrosive bacteria, which are as the planktonic and sessile population, but they are not effective against biofilm. New antimicrobial and eco-friendly substances are now being developed. Biosurfactants are proved to be one of the best eco-friendly anticorrosion substances to inhibit the biocorrosion process and protect materials against corrosion. Biosurfactants have recently became one of the important products of bioeconomy with multiplying applications, while there is scare knowledge on their using in biocorrosion treatment. In this review, the recent findings on the application of biosurfactants as eco-friendly and innovative biocides against biocorrosion are highlighted.

“…However, the actual efficiency depends on the type of soil, oil, and technology applied. According to Vandana and Singh [34], the use of biosurfactants is advantageous over the application of surfactants of synthetic origin, since they are environmentally friendly, easily biodegradable, and nontoxic. Corroborating the results obtained by Taketani et al [31], the use of a solid phase bioreactor was promising, especially with the appropriate humidity adjustment to favor the microbial soil and to improve the remediation of contaminated soil.…”

In the present study, in order to rehabilitate areas multi-contaminated by oil and metals, bioremediation, coupled with bioreactor technologies, was applied. Firstly, a microcosm trial was performed using two synthetic surfactants, TRITON X-100 and TWEEN 80, and a biological one, JBR210, at two different concentrations (0.1 and 1.0 mg. g -1 soil) for 42 days to select the two best surfactants of different natures in order to scale up a solid-phase bench bioreactor under controlled operating conditions. The results obtained with the use of Tween 80 and biosurfactant JBR210 at a concentration of 0.1 mg. g -1 soil, with humidity corrected to 70% of WHC, were a 25.5% and 30.00% removal of THP (Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon), respectively, while control with humidity adjustment alone achieved 20.5% removal. The evaluation of the behavior of microbial activity through next generation sequencing (NGS) of the soil was performed before and after the different treatments in the bioreactor, where the control showed an increase of Actinobacteria population. The treatments with surfactants showed an increase of Alphaproteobacteria and Sphingobacteria in this same period, and a decrease in the abundance of Actinobacteria. The diversity measured by the Shannon index (H') showed a significant decline for the Tween 80 treatment, with no sign of recovery, unlike JBR210 biosurfactant treatment. Therefore, the application of surfactants of different natures has different effects, where both promoted the reduction of diversity, whereas the biosurfactant JBR210 showed a tendency to increase after 42 days, indicating a less intense effect, ie. it is better for the environment.
