Abstract:
Biosurfactants bio-molecules are those kinds of biomolecules which have surface-active
properties. They are produced by microbes and they have several advantages compare to the
chemical surfactants, like lower toxicity, higher biodegradability.
Biosurfactants have very high capabilities like they are highly selective in nature, they are
very good foaming agent, they show very good specific activity even in extreme conditions
like temperature, ph, and salinity. Due to these capabilities they are widely used in many
industries.
Many surfactants are available in the market are chemically synthesized. Usages of
biosurfactants are increased because of their wide range of functional properties and the
diverse synthetic capabilities of the microbes.
There are many advantages of microbial biosurfactants because they have wide range of
applications protection of ecosystem. Microbial biosurfactants have very good capabilities of
enhancing in oil recovery, controlling oil spills, biodegradation because of this advantages
they are used in oil-contaminated industries.
Biosurfactants are also used in oil, and biodegradation industries. Thus In this review article,
we concentrated on, exploring application of biosurfactants in agriculture and investigating
their potential role in plant growth promotion and other related agricultural applications.
