Industrial wastes as substrates for synthesis of surfactants with antiadhesive activity by Rhodococcus erythropolis IMV Ac-5017

Abstract

Microbial surfactants can affect the degree of microorganism’s adhesion to different surfaces and lead to biodegradation of the already formed biofilms. They are also non-toxic to the environment. These properties allow to use the microbial surfactants in medicine and food industry.
