Introduction

Biosurfactants, derived from microbes and plants, exhibit diverse properties that help in emulsifying and foaming processes. With applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and agriculture, they also show antimicrobial and environmental benefits, such as oil removal in polluted areas. Biosurfactants show promise for pollution control and improving agriculture.

This reference covers the basic science and major applications of biosurfactants. The book brings together contributions from experts in microbiology, cancer biology, pharmaceutical science, nanotechnology, plant biotechnology, and environmental sciences into a single volume.

Key Features

  • -Explains the basics of biosurfactants
  • -Discusses novel applications of biosurfactants in the fields of medicine, agriculture, and environmental sustainability.
  • -Includes special chapters that review the role of biosurfactants in environmental remediation and omics research
  • -Includes detailed references in each chapter
