Biosurfactants 1st Edition

Biosurfactants (1st Edition) by Gloria Soberon-Chavez — a must-have reference that brings clarity and practical insight to the fast-growing field of microbial surfactants. Perfect for researchers, graduate students, and industry professionals seeking a rigorous yet accessible guide to sustainable surface-active agents.

Begin with a compelling overview of biosurfactant science: what they are, why they matter, and how microbial strategies are reshaping applications from environmental remediation to cosmetics and enhanced oil recovery. Clear explanations of molecular classes—rhamnolipids, lipopeptides, sophorolipids—and their physicochemical properties make complex concepts approachable.

Dive deeper into production and characterization: fermentation and bioprocess optimization, downstream recovery, analytical techniques, and scale-up challenges. Real-world case studies and application-focused chapters translate laboratory findings into industrial practice, highlighting uses in bioremediation, wastewater treatment, agriculture, and green formulations. Emphasis on sustainable biotechnology and regulatory considerations makes this edition especially relevant for global markets and regional initiatives across North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific.

Written with scientific rigor and practical tone, this book balances foundational theory with actionable guidance—ideal for bench scientists, process engineers, and policy-makers aiming to adopt eco-friendly surfactant solutions. If you’re pursuing innovation in microbial biotechnology or exploring sustainable alternatives to petrochemical surfactants, this volume is an essential addition to your library.
