Biosurfactant Production and Potential Correlation with Esterase Activity
Author(s): Kamaljeet Kaur Sekhon, Sunil Khanna and Swaranjit Singh Cameotra Kamaljeet Kaur Sekhon, Sunil Khanna and Swaranjit Singh Cameotra
Biosurfactants (microbial surfactants) are surface active compounds produced extracellularly or as part of the cell membrane by several bacterial and fungal species. They have the unique property of reducing the surface and interfacial tension of liquids. Biosurfactants have applications in the field of agriculture, petroleum, microbial enhanced oil recovery, biomedical sciences, cosmetics, food processing and pharmaceuticals. The global biosurfactants market has grown gradually. Regardless of their greater biodegradability and reduced toxicity, cost competitiveness still remains the major concern for biosurfactant production. However, recombinant or metabolically engineered hyper producing strains combined with optimized cultivation conditions have made it possible for many companies to reap the benefits of ‘green’ biosurfactant technology. Simultaneously, biosurfactants .. View More»
