INDUSTRIAL AND BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS OF BIOEMULSIFIERS: A MINI REVIEW

Abstract

Microorganisms produce bioemulsifier/biosurfactants having a wide structural and functional diversity. This review highlights the method of investigation to determine these ampiphilic molecules, bioemulsifier produced by different microorganisms from various origins its classification based on its molecular weight, its chemical composition and that are capable of producing bioemulsifier of industrial and biological applications.

Keywords: Bioemulsifier (BS), Glycolipids, Lipopeptides, Industrial potential, Biological applications.
