Biosurfactants are naturally derived compounds produced by microorganisms, plants, or animals that have surfactant properties. These molecules have a hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic head, allowing them to reduce surface tension and interact with both water and oil molecules. Biosurfactants have a wide range of applications, including in the oil and gas industry, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and environmental remediation. Research in this area focuses on understanding the production, properties, and potential uses of biosurfactants, as well as exploring ways to enhance their production and optimize their performance in various applications.
