Samenvatting

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 and showcasing diverse experimental models and approaches. Sections discuss fundamental characteristics of biosurfactants, their physio-chemical properties, and their differences from chemically synthesize surfactants, different research approaches for the study of known biosurfactants, and the genetic manipulation of microorganisms to increase biosurfactant productivity, or to produce molecules with improved characteristics.

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.
