Abstract
Biosurfactants are natural surfactants produced by variety of microorganisms. They are very prospective product due to good biodegradability, low toxicity, good physicochemical properties and high efficiency in many applications. Moreover, they are efficient in wide range of pH, temperatures and salinity. However, the production of biosurfactants is very expensive due to high purification cost. This cost can be minimized by application of variety of waste products as a carbon source in microbial biosynthesis. This paper presents an overview of waste and non-waste substrates application for biosurfactants production.
