Biosurfactants have the properties of reducing surface tension, stabilizing emulsions, promoting foaming and are generally non-toxic and biodegradable. Interest in microbial surfactants has been steadily increasing in recent years due to their diversity, environmentally friendly nature, possibility of large-scale production, selectivity, performance under extreme conditions and potential applications in environmental protection. This book provides an up-to-date, coherently written and objectively presented set of book chapters from eminent international researchers who are actively involved in academic and technological research in the area of Biosurfactants.
