Publisher:

Committee on Biotechnology PAS ; Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry PAS

Abstract:

This article reviews the information from the last decade in the world literature on microbial biosurfactants. Biosurfactants classification, kinetics of production and factors affecting synthesis of these compounds are described. Special emphasis is put on the natural roles played by surface active agents in thegrowth microorganisms which produce them. The development ofbiosurfactants genetics is presented and their potential commercial use is discussed.
