Biosurfactants and Bioemulsifiers Biomedical and Related Applications – Present Status and Future Potentials
Many microorganisms are able to produce a wide range of amphipathic compounds, with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties present within the same molecule which allow them to exhibit surface activities at interfaces and are generally called biosurfactants or bioemulsifiers. These surface-active compounds (SAC) are mainly classified according to their mode of action, molecular weight and gen...
متن کاملBioemulsifiers are not biosurfactants and require different screening approaches
The terms biosurfactant and bioemulsifier have often been used interchangeably to describe surface active biomolecules. However, it is important to note that there are marked differences between them especially based on their physico-chemical properties and physiological roles. Although bioemulsifiers and biosurfactants are both amphiphilic in nature and are produced by a wide range of microorg...

This editorial is an annotation on the exciting research topic " Microbiotechnology based surfactants and their applications " that covers a compilation of original research articles, reviews and mini-reviews submitted by researchers enthusiastically working in the field of biosurfactants. Biosurfactants, which for a long time have been confused with bioemulsifiers, derived their name from biol...
متن کاملBiosurfactants and Bioemulsifiers in Accessing Hydrophobic Substrates
Biosurfactants are one of the numerous adaptations of microorganisms metabolizing hydrocarbons and broadly represent a physiological response to specific requirements encountered by the cells depending on their environment. Some bacteria have developed the ‘‘pseudosolubilization’’ strategy to gain access to poorly soluble substrates and therefore produce highly dynamic low-molecular mass biosur...
متن کاملNERURKAR et al: BIOEMULSIFIERS FROM MARINE MICROORGANISMS
This review highlights bioemulsifier-producing marine microorganisms, which are capable of producing unique metabolites having industrial applications. High molecular weight biosurfactants (bioemulsifiers) produce stable emulsions, which allow bacteria to adhere strongly to hydrophobic surfaces and then degrade large biological complexes. Bioemulsifiers are classified according to their hydroph...
