Summary:Biosurfactants have been the subject of systematic research aimed at developing new antibiotics. Commercially, biosurfactants have not yet achieved a widespread recognition. A review is given on the main classes of biosurfactants, their physicochemical properties with particular emphasis to the emulsification of hydrocarbons and the existing and potential industrial applications.
