The accumulation of hydrocarbon pollutants in the environment is one of the repercussions of expanding industry. The use of biosurfactants as a bioremediation method is a long-term solution to this problem. Aside from food, detergents, and crude oil recovery, biosurfactants have interesting industrial applications. The commercial value of biosurfactants has increased due to characteristics such as reduced toxicity, action specificity, better biodegradability, and functioning at varying pH, temperature, and salinity. Biosurfactants are also recommended as a chemical surfactant alternative because of their low Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC). Biosurfactants have a CMC that is 10–40 times lower than chemical surfactants. Screening and isolation of new biosurfactant strains is becoming more popular as a result of these factors. This book's content provides a comprehensive overview of the benefits and drawbacks of various screening procedures for isolating biosurfactant manufacturers. After a thorough study of the literature available online, the effect of several physicochemical parameters on biosurfactant production optimization is also discussed.
