Biosurfactants: Research and Development provides a thorough overview of biosurfactant research and development across a range of settings and industries, highlighting the novel use of enzymes, metabolic, and genetic engineering in biosurfactant production, showcasing diverse experimental models and approaches. The first section discusses fundamental characteristics of biosurfactants, their physio-chemical properties, and their differences from chemically synthesize surfactants. A second section presents different research approaches for the study of known biosurfactants, with later chapters discussing the genetic manipulation of microorganisms to increase biosurfactant productivity, or to produce molecules with improved characteristics. Section four focuses on the use of biocatalysis for biosurfactant production, with a last section considering current perspectives and challenges of biosurfactants research and innovation. Throughout the book, methods and approaches are discussed in easy-to-digest formats, with methods discussed ranging from in silico approaches to classical biocatalysis omics analysis and metabolic engineering. Provides a through overview of biosurfactant enzymes and microorganisms used in biosurfactant production Features instruction in a wide range of research and development approaches, ranging from in silico techniques to classical biocatalysis omics analysis and metabolic engineering Features chapter contributions from international leaders in the field
