Identification of a Novel Biosurfactant with Antimicrobial Activity Produced by <i>Rhodococcus opacus</i> R7

<i>Rhodococcus</i> members excrete secondary metabolites, especially compounds which act as biosurfactants. In this work, we demonstrated the ability of <i>Rhodococcus opacus</i> R7 to produce a novel bioactive compound belonging to the class of biosurfactants with antimicrob...
