1. Introduction
Biosurfactants produced by microorganisms[1], are
amphipathic surface active molecules containing
hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties that act by
emulsifying hydrocarbons, increasing their solubilisation
and subsequently rendering them available for microbial
degradation[2]. They can be glycolipids, lipopeptides,
lipopolysaccharides, polysaccharide protein complexes,
