Production and potential biotechnological applications of microbial surfactants: An overview
Microbial surfactants are amphipathic molecules that consist of hydrophilic and hydrophobic domains, which allow partition of two fluid phases of varying degree of polarity. They are classified into two main groups: bioemulsifier and biosurfactant, depending on their molecular weight. Microbial surf...
