Microbial Biosurfactants

Microbial biosurfactants are exterior active molecules having hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties as their constituents which allow them to interact at interfaces and decrease the surface tension Biosurfactants are amphiphilic compounds formed in living surfaces, mostly on microbial cell surfaces or excreted extracellular hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups that confer the capability to accumulate between fluid phases, thus falling surface and interfacial tension at the surface and interface respectively . They acquire the characteristic property of dipping the surface and interfacial tension using the similar mechanisms as chemicals surfactants . Surfactants are the active ingredients found in soaps and detergents with the ability to concentrate at the air- water interface and are commonly used to separate oily materials from a particular media due to the fact that they are able to increase aqueous solubility of NonAqueous Phase Liquids (NAPLS) by reducing their surface/ interfacial tension at air–water and water–oil interfaces.
