Glycolipids, consisting of a carbohydrate moiety linked to fatty acids, are microbial surface
active compounds produced by various microorganisms. They are characterized by high …

Biosurfactants are a microbially synthesized alternative to synthetic surfactants, one of the
most important bulk chemicals. Some yeast species are proven to be exceptional …

This study investigates the potential of crude oil degrading capabilities of biosurfactant-
producing strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa MF069166 and Meyerozyma sp. MF138126 …

Waste-cooking oil (WCO) is defined as vegetable oil that has been used to fry food at high
temperatures. The annual global generation of WCO is 41–67 million tons. Without proper …

The replacement of traditional petroleum-based surfactants with renewable biosurfactants is
a key part of the transition towards a circular economy. Sophorolipids are the most …

The natural environment is often contaminated with hydrophobic pollutants such as long-
chain hydrocarbons, petrochemicals, oil spills, pesticides, and heavy metals. Hydrophobic …

Waste cooking oil (WCO) has been used as a sustainable and economical raw material for
the production of sophorolipids using Starmerella bombicola. Initially, pretreatment of waste …

Sophorolipids (SLs), mainly synthesized by yeasts, were a sort of biosurfactant with the
highest fermentation level at present. In recent years, SLs have drawn extensive attention for …

Sophorolipids are biomolecules with great potential to be explored in the food industry due
to their efficient antimicrobial activity. Therefore, in this study, sophorolipids were produced …

Chemical processes and petroleum-based chemicals are being substituted by biological
processes and bioproducts. Surfactants and biosurfactants are an example of this trend …
