Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microbial biosurfactants, especially rhamnolipids, have found use in a wide variety of applications, from cosmetic and detergent products, to drug delivery and environmental protection and remediation. With their potential environmentally friendly and ecological source, low toxicity, and high stability at different conditions, the continued quest for better targeted production methods as well as novel applications remain a current topic. Therefore, this Special Issue will be devoted to novel developments in the production and design of microbial biosurfactants, and new and insightful applications.
Dr. Christian Jungnickel
