In recent years, microbial surfactants have gained considerable attention over synthetic surfactants due to their unique properties like higher biodegradability, lower toxicity, and effectiveness at extremes of temperature, pH and salinity (Mukherjee et al.,2006). Bio-surfactants are used for diverse applications such as antimicrobials (Seydlova and Svobodova, 2008), in enhanced oil recovery (Liu et al., 2015), for soil remediation (Gudina et al., http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2015.04.013 0960-8524/ 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
