Microbial surfactants are a large number of amphipathic biomolecules with a myriad of
biomolecule constituents from various microbial sources that have been studied for their …

Biosurfactants comprise a wide array of amphiphilic molecules synthesized by plants,
animals, and microbes. The synthesis route dictates their molecular characteristics, leading …

Both biotic and abiotic stresses are major constrains to agricultural production. Under stress
conditions, plant growth is affected by a number of factors such as hormonal and nutritional …

The environmental impacts of the use of synthetic surfactants are discussed in this work
such as their high levels of toxicity and low biodegradability. These materials destroy aquatic …
