Industrial Applications of Biosurfactants and Microorganisms (Paperback)

Industrial Applications of Biosurfactants and Microorganisms Green Technology Avenues from Lab to Commercialization covers a variety of current biosurfactant research advancements and progresses, providing insights into the most recent academic advances, major applications, and implementation studies from across the world. The book focuses entirely within the scope of biochemistry and biotechnology research and demonstrates the application of biosurfactants in cell mobility, cell communication, nutrient acquisition, and plant and animal disease. Biosurfactants have antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties, as well as adhesive properties and are used in vaccinations, gene therapy, and the enhancement of microbial biocontrol systems. This book is designed for a broad audience working in the fields of biochemistry, surface science, colloid and interface science, and is an invaluable reference for university libraries and industrial institutions, government and independent institutes, individual research groups, and scientists working in the field of surface science systems.

• Provides biosurfactants production and applications in modern industrial platforms
• Evaluates biosurfactants as prime options for sustainable and transformation opportunities
• Serves as a valuable reference for scientists and engineers who are searching for modern design for biosurfactants
• Focuses on the most advanced biosurfactants, industry-oriented applications including current challenges during manufacturing
