Microbial Surfactants: A Review
Open accessAbstract
Biosurfactants are amphiphilic compounds produced on living surfaces, mostly microbial cell surface or excreted extracellularly and contain hydrophobic and hydrophilic moieties, that reduce surface tension and interfacial tension between individual molecules at the surface and interface respectively. Several biosurfactants have high surface activity and low critical micelle concentration (CMC) and are therefore, promising substitutes for synthetic surfactants. The oils and fats derived from plants are used for the manufacture of biosurfactants. A large amount of wastes are generated by oils and fats industries, residual oils, tallow, marine oils, soapstock, frying oils, cassava flour mill effluent. The use of above industrial fatty waste has great potential for growth and transformation. The agro industrial by product acid, whey, olive oil mill effluent, molasses can also be used for biosurfactant production. Biosurfactants have several advantages over the chemical surfactants such as lower toxicity, higher biodegradability, better environmental compatibility, higher foaming, higher selectivity and specific gravity at extreme temperature, pH and salinity and the ability to be synthesized from renewable feedstock. That’s why the demand of biosurfactants are increasing day by day.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
