As a result, microbial biosurfactant-producing systems are gaining momentum as potential replacements for chemical surfactants. \u003cstrong\u003eBiosurfactants: Production and Utilization--Processes, Technologies, and Economics \u003c\/strong\u003eexplores the production, utilization, and industrial\/economic use of biosurfactants in modern biotechnology. This book represents comprehensive material developed by contemporary experts in the field. Focusing on research and developments within the last 20 years, it highlights relevant changes in the industry. It provides a detailed account of the current applications of biosurfactants, considers the potential for further environmental, biological, and industrial applications, and concentrates on surfactants and organisms with possibilities for future use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmphasizes Process Scale-Up and Commercialization\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFactoring in the industrial application of biosurfactant production based on renewable resources, the book determines how biosurfactants can enhance or replace the properties of chemically synthesized surface-active agents.
